So just as you should listen to your whole vehicle--so you know when something "changes" or "doesn't sound right"--you should listen to your Dometic when it is running. I would check at the exhaust vent-- warm/hot to the touch--and the sound! Like a little blast furnace down in there. If it didn't sound like that, something was wrong. FWIW--the only thing that really blew out my flame was (1) a strong cross wind on the highway and then (2) having a semi pass on the up- wind side. It would pop my ears--and I knew the Dometic was out, too. Richard |
