[VAL] Dometic Question
Just purchased a 1962 Tradewind. It has waht looks to be the original refer. It
is a Dometic. The only numbers I can find are M-50, and Unit Type 75A. I m not
sure of the propane operation, but when I plugged in the trailer to the 110 power
source, the coils inside the unit smell very hot. I did not see any control for
temp setting on 110, there is a knob for temp setting when on propane. On the
wall, below the thermostat for the Air, is another control, says Dou-Therm. Does
anyone have one of these units, that could tell me about it? The P/O said they
didn't use it because people said it was unsafe. I could not find the electrical
connection for the unit, where is it? Also, near the top of the unit, there is a
hole in the wall, and then seems to travel up the wall inside the wall to a vent
on the roof. Is this a correct set-up. Thanks in advance,
