Dometic fridge on gas..
(Preview)
When turning fridge on gas the tiny red needle does not move more than 2mm from the left to right, towards the green, to let me know it is working. It does not reach into the green area. What have others found? Heading the last couple of hours to home today. Aussie Paul.
