Hey Larry --
I have refilled at many stations that did not have a recovery system--in my
last camper (cab over on a pick up) I refueled all the way down the Baja
Peninsula with the propane on , and that camper had a "normal " fridge where
you could open the door on the outside and see the flame burning. In fact
thats how I had to light it ---my wife would hold the red button in and I
would put a flame to it.
Again -I 'm not stating this is safe practice. This is a recommedation to
the writer that was losing to much battery.
Jackson may have the right idea--pull the sucker out and put in one that
really works. Both Sportsmoble and GTRV put electrics in their rigs.
As I have stated many times on this forum this is the worst designed propane
refer I have come across--and by far the hardest to maintain--I have had
mine out 4 times this week to get it ready for summer. I think that
Winnebago must have threatened Norcold into this design. Maybe saying --"if
you don't make it this way we will go elsewhere for our parts". Norcold
should have told them they would NOT build such a sh%^%tty unit so as to not
ruin their reputation. But in the era of the big boy's pushing us all around
that's not how business is done. It's a proven fact that companies make
different types of the same product for different stores. Iwanted to get
some T-shirts years ago to make some Chrstmas presents --bought some Haines
from K-mart and they were so thin that I couldn't use them --I went looking
for a better brand and wound up buying Haines --just not "the they made for
K-mart " as the seller said. Why would a good company that makes a good
product do this?
