The backfire is due to flooding of propane in the combustion chamber, which is due to not enough oxygen in there to light up the propane in the first place. See my _VW Vanagon Westfalia Dometic Fridge Maintenace_ (http://frankcondelli.com/fridge.htm) webpage for help. >>>>>>>Hey guys, someone mentioned they were having similar issues to mine about a w= eek ago..
