Is that what you >guys have? > My fridge is Norcold Model #3136G Serial #007144CMGYF5 my furnace is Suburban Model #125 Serial #950303223 I've never had occasion to run the furnace at any significant altitude, or at any extreme of temperature - typically PNW winter weather is 40F and wet. It sure keeps us toasty in that weather! The furnace is kind of weird - if it doesn't ignite you have to shut if off and wait for the fan to cycle off - then restart it. This is some sort of safety feature to prevent gas buildup inside the combustion chamber. (I recall this happening one in my Vanagon - it was kinda scary to hear a 'boom' coming out the exhaust vent!) As I mentioned previously, I've had the fridge at altitudes between 6000ft and 7000ft and it worked fine on propane. I run it on electric when driving. let us know if you find out anything specific - especially if there is something related to serial number. -rick Rick Gordon Bainbridge Island, WA, USA ------------------------------------- rickgo@halcyon.com http://www.halcyon.com/rickgo/ KC7QEG finger for PGP public key fingerprint -------------------------------------
