Well...
We took Vic (our '90 Syncro Westy) to the deserts of southern Utah this last
weekend (we didn't go to Moab because the Jeep Safari crowds it up too much,
but would've liked to meet the syncro safari-ers--hope your time there was
great!!)

Aa couple of ?'s about the camping eqpt.--
The left (rearmost) stove burner would light, sputter, flash and then go
out.  Consistently.  Occaisionally,  there would even be a flassh flame fron
the control knob.  We played with it 2 or 3 times, and then gave up.  Any
ideas?  Whats the access to clean out the burner heads (if such is even
possible)?

The frig ran great on house power (for 12 hrs prior to the journey), DC
while driving, and even propane. m Lit right away and everything (oh darn,
I've probably cursed all future endeavors with it.)  However, on 2 nights,
the frig would go out sometime during the night.  Not sure why.  ANy thoughts??

Those of you who've insulated with that Bubble wrap/aluminum foil roll
insulation--how do you secure it to the pop-top?

And, by the way, the head gasket leak I wrote about around 2 weeks ago did
not seem to be happening-just lucky, I guess.  Still, I'm gonna have it
checked out again this week.

Thanks for any and all help...
John
