Harmer builds a quality conversion, and I'm sure that an incorrect installation would have shown a venting deficiency, long before your acquisition of the trailer. I would suggest openeing the bottom vent, where you will see the gas and electric supplies for your fridge. A common screw driver turning the fasteners 90 degrees, will open the top of the panel. If you follow the gas supply line to the bottom right of the unit, you will find a metal plate with a couple of screws. When they are removed, you will be looking at the burner section. Any dirt, bugs or sagging insulation in this area will restrict a proper flame. A vacuum cleaner with a soft bristle brush will clean things ups a bit. Do not touch the very end of the burner where the flame is produced, with the brush. Blowing any residue off the orrifice is the best way to clean it. While you are observing the area of the flame, have someone ignite the burner by turning on the fridge with the gas function. You should have a clean, regular blue flame, about an inch or inch and a half long. Within the flame, you will have a little probe that is constantly heated. If the flame is irregular and yellowish, or it keeps shutting off because the probe is not being heated, things can be adjusted to promote a good flame propagation. The burner tip can be cleaned and the air flow regulated. The TC probe can be adjusted. These are simple fixes that only take a few minutes to diagnose and effect. The amount of air being burnt during normal opperation is quite small. The surface area of the two vents of your installation, would only be necessary to vent the gas fumes you might experience, in the event of a gas line failure where large amounts of vapours would be quickly produced. You can easily trouble shoot this yourself, and anyone with any furnace experience, can make the adjustments you need if you can't do it yourself. A few minutes on the internet will show you how. I don't think Camping World gave you the correct answer. |
