Hi folks,

First of all I've been sending a number of questions to the list lately and
you all have been very helpful.  I really appreciate it.

I'm having trouble removing the cap on the drain of the fridge.  I can't
find the detail for this in the Bently manual,  I'm going on what I've
found in the archives.    Just to verify I'm trying the right thing,  the
drain is that brass or copper tubing that's at the lower left corner ,of
the fridge between the floor of the van and the bottom of the fridge??
Okay, I can turn that cap abut a half turn one way or the other but it does
not want to turn any more than that.  Is this a special cap or should I be
able to simply screw it off like any standard threaded hose cap or screw &
nut.

I'm trying to remove the cap so that I can get some extra air for
combustion when lighting the fridge on propane use per the various
references in the archives.  It feels like I'm forcing the cap and I don't
want to break anything.

When I try to light the fridge I see a yellow flash but I never get a blue
flame or have the bottom led of the indicator panel turn on.

Thanks -- Rich Durant
