Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any tips on starting the fridge on gas in a 2018 Jayco Silverline. Been in storage for a while, so probably has air in the gas line, but after at least 12 attempts (and unlocking the gas lock-out fuction many times) error code 50 keeps coming up. Any ideas????? Cheers.
