The "viewing of the flame" in the Norcold is one of the best examples
of "YMMV" in the EV Camper world. The clever folks at Winnebogus
really "engineered" this one.
On some campers (Bruce's '97 EVC, for apparent example) the viewing
window is on the side of the burner box that faces the centerline of
the vehicle. On others (MY '97 EVC, for example) the viewing window
is on the side of the burner box that faces the REAR of the vehicle
and is impossible to see without removing the fridge from the
cabinetry. BUT to remove it far enough to see the window, the LP line
must be disconnected!
My semi-solution was to have a welding-supply shop make up a short (2
to 3 ft.) hose with fittings to match the gas line. Now I can fire up
to observe the flame with the unit sitting in the middle of the floor.
