New Batteries and Stupid New Owner Tricks

[nicodemus815@...]

I had 6 Trojan T105's installed today, new cables, and a battery disconnect
switch for the genset battery, so I can isolate it while dry camping. We ground
the accumulated gunk off the battery tray and repainted it too.

While the work was being done on the tray, I was troubleshooting the refer. I
have never been able to get it to run on propane. I figured I'd purge the
gas lines again by turning on the stove. I couldn't get it lit though. In fact I
couldn't even smell the propane coming out of the burners.

I started checking the knobs, checking for switches, opening cabinets and
drawers looking for a hidden on/off valve etc. Finally I stumbled on the propane
detector, when I turned it on, lo and behold, i had propane to the stove, and
the refer lit right up :-)

Damn these Bluebirds are complex!!
