My 85 model does not have the hand lift pump option so I have only the basic lift motor/pump. Has anyone added this to their system?

Not sure what you meant by 'get out of cabin'. And I did conclude the problem by ignoring it for now as the fridge runs fine on propane. My fridge is on a dedicated circuit for both AC and DC.

I had 6 gauge wire and connectors in stock. And it was a 60 mile round trip for me to get to a hardware store.

Jack...thanks for the compliments. Yes, it has to be something wrong under the fridge, such as a simple wire disconnect. I'll yank the fridge and look after our next camping trip. In the meantime it is propane only which is best anyway, just not while driving. I remember about 10 years ago I...

Yes, they can be replaced but I don't think the heating elements are bad. On this fridge there is one for AC and one for DC. I measured the resistance on them with my ohm meter and they were right in spec with what is called for. This fridge has controls on the bottom front that operate long...

Thx Sam, I'll keep this in mind. Not going to get rid of it yet. Strangely, I just replaced the original hot water heater as the tank rusted through. Got the same size there but it is upgraded to direct spark ignition (no pilot light) and heats on 120VAC as well. In fact it will heat with gas...

Yes, both voltages good. Kind of frustrating as I put her to bed for the 23/24 winter just as I had done for the last 27 years and when I woke her up Spring of 2024 it only works on propane. No rodent damage, nothing. It always worked best on gas so I am not without but it is nice to run it on...

My 3 way Dometic only works on gas now. I've trouble shot the dickens out of it but can't figure it out. Heating elements good and all voltage is where it needs to be. It's a Dometic RM461.I usually run it on gas but it it is nice to plug it in before a trip electrically and cool it down ahead...

Will do. Probably won't be until over the winter.

I may take the lid to a 3D printing company for exact reproduction...before it is trashed completely.

Any ideas where I can get the lid for my escape hatch, the one that cranks up? I ordered a Heng's 22x22 but it was too small and had the wrong hinge. I suspect I need a 24x24

Looks like a good deal

On almost all my RV's the fridge heater wire is too small a gauge. I replaced it with a 6 or 8 gauge dedicated fused circuit with an 8 gauge return to battery ground. No more big 1.5 volt drop when fridge calls for power. But I use propane when camping and the 12 volt setting while hauling.

Thanks Jack! I am in the market for a few things and was trying to chase down Rob last month. I do have facebook and please keep us informed as to proper contact methods and facebook profiles.

I have the style pump with the single bar for lowering and no provision for a jack style handle for lifting, I would like to change to the jack style. Can it be done? If so, where can I find an assembly? Anyone parting out a HiLo? I think JR has unloaded all his parts from the last couple years...
