Greetings Friends.
I'm wondering in anyone has had a problem with exhaust from their propane refrigerator venting inside their Alaskan camper?
I have an eight foot, 2005 cabover Alaskan, with a 3-way Norcold 2.7 cu/foot refrigerator. I have not had an exhaust issue until about six months ago. I've cleaned out the back of the fridge with a vac (pretty clean), the flame looks good, and I've tried closing the inside vent and turning on the fan. That helps, but still getting exhaust, enough exhaust as to make the camper very unpleasant and likely dangerous.
The fridge still works great on AC. I don't use it on DC.
After lots of searching online, and looking at flue cleaning instructions, etc. I took it to an RV repair shop in Regina, SK. Big mistake. I gave them all the info. I had, popped the top for them, etc. They had never seen an Alaskan before. At the end of the day, they gave me their assessment: bad design. They charged me 200 bucks to tell me Alaskan camper makes a poorly designed camper/fridge set-up, and they can't do anything about the exhaust. I protested, and am still in conversation with them.
Anyway, I've written to Alaskan camper about this issue, but am wondering if anyone has had this problem, and sorted it out.
Thank you,
Kurt
