My Norcold works best on propane, I'd always used it there when I could. But, after I added a good CO detector to the coach in anticipation of a working furnace, I got an alarm at a show with no furnace installed and the stove off. So I had a look at the icebox - the cabinet wasn't sealed when the new unit was fitted in place of the original electric only, nor was the upper vent enlarged. It's a small vent on the side of the coach. A large door style vent was fitted to the lower portion of the icebox cabinet.
Well, now the cabinet is sealed with A/C tape, and the upper vent has a pair of 35CMF exhaust fans fitted, wired to the gas solenoid. When the burner comes on, so do the fans. Now, the CO detector is happy.

It is rum from Scotland, and probably ought to be poured back into the horse. Remember, the Scots are responsible for haggis as well. We need to educate the gentleman to Blanton's, or Booker's, or maybe Four Roses Single Barrel.

Being a Scotsman, the cheapest I can find around here is Makers Mark, which
fortunately isn't just a breakfast drink any more....

Michael. There are two bottles of Captain Morgan in there also.
My sister goes over to the states and bring back really big ones for me.
