I'm gett'n ready to leave on a trip day after tomorrow, and I couldn't
get my refer to ignite. I tried the stove burners and they wouldn't
light either. Naturally, I'm freak'n out think'n it's something in
the regulator or somewhere in the system anyway. So I do a search on
the messages and find a Curt Springer message from 12/05 stating you
have to have the detector on with 12V being supplied in order for the
system to work. Now, if it wasn't for that message on this forum, I'd
been head'n to a propane shop for repair with only a day to be ready
to leave. Someone turned off the switch on the detector down by the
floor. Probably the cleaning lady. Anyway, I'd just like to thank
everyone on this forum for the help they provide in keeping us with
these old machines rolling. See ya in cuppala weeks.

Thanks a million

I had a similar problem the first time we were taking our Wanderlodge
out. I had the fridge light and then quit I tried a few things in the
dark and then we just took a cooler and left for the EAA airshow. When
we got there the stove wouldn't light either. When I got home I found
that the retainer on the bottom of the high pressure regulator had
broken and the adjuster and spring were laying in the tray under the
l.p. tank. I located a replacement that fits into those tight quarters
so if anyone needs one let me know and I will give you the info.

I was truly afraid I could face such a dilemma as you did. That's
great you might be able to help someone else in such a predicament.
It was fortunate for us that it was just the co alarm being
inadvertently turned off. I must tell you though (dropping his
drorers now), because my first thought was I couldn't remember how
long its been since I filled my Budda's belly propane tank, I just
simply thought I was out of propane (my gauge is a little off, I use
Kentucky Windage). So I smugly went off to the propane filler-upper
place, knowing I have the situation well in-hand, but then it only
took 2.5 gallons. How stupid can ya feel right about now? I've got
36 feet of bus wedged into a tight spot, during the freak'n rush hour
with two Eastern Indians babbling at each other, trying to figure out
how to hook the stuff up, and it's a over a hundred degrees out here,
and the damn thing takes only 2.5 gallons of propane? I mean come on!
Well, at least folks like you and this forum bails uskus kina folk
out, and we preech ee ate it.

Is that switch next to the dinette table. If so, the chair leg can turn it off.
It has happened in my coach. Glad you found it.
