I totally understand. And, in my case, though I was careful to
assemble the exhaust flue bits correctly, a small leak at those parts
could be the culprit of my flame blow out. All about the sum of the

I don't know if he's still in business or active in Vanagons but an
old time member of this list, Roger Sisler, had a great multi image
picasaweb album of a 182A that he rehabilitated. Very in depth stuff.
I can't find it on the 'net anymore but it sure helped me gain a
better understanding of the Westy Dometic fridge.
