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!!

Steve:

If it makes any difference, we ALL have looked for that same switch at one
time or other. And what's more on some Birds there is an additional switch
on the drivers console that has to be on as well. One thing for
sure, you won't forget where it is from now on! Welcome to Birds,
it is not a challenge but a true adventure.
