        Jay, if that fridge of  yours keeps blowing out, the
intake/exhaust/combustion chamber system is  leaking somewhere.  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.
