        Mike, guess you missed my  post of last week.  Check your
regulator.  This could very well be the  problem.  I JUST went through this with mine
and it WAS the  regulator.  Just because the stove works "great" does not
mean the  regulator is good for the fridge service.  Easiest check is to take
your  barbecue tank and regulator, everyone has one of these, right ? and
hook it up  to the line to the fridge at the tank where you can take it off
the regulator  there.  You will need a male ~ male union for the flare
connectors.   If it works fine then you need a new regulator, Marshall Brass 290
for  horizontal service.



>>>>>Vanners,

My dometic has been cleaned,  orifice cleaned, chimney blown out, works
great
on the bench.

But at  sea level the flame is weak and blows out when driving. Won't run
at
altitude unless I hold the starting gas button in.

Stove works  great.

Any  ideas?<<<<<<<<<
