Subject:      Your Dometic's Best Temp Differential On LP?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


Hi all.


Couldn't find a thread about best temp differentials on LP mode in
archives, so here I am.


This is for a Dometic 182B with a small CPU fan inside.


Last night, 10 PM, ~66F inside Westy. Run overnight on LP at "Max",
9AM ambient: 66F. Fridge: 27F. Roughly a 40F differential.


IIRC, my old 182A pulled better temperature differences. It made ice
with ambient temps of 70F-8?F.


(I swapped it out as flame went out when turned down at night.
Relighting the next morning was a major PITA.)


I know 40F differential is typical, but if others are seeing better
results, then I'll be cleaning the LP jet. (yes I should have done
this before. It worked on the bench so I let it be --- :^)


Thanks,


Neil.
