[VAL] More: dometic that couldn't.



Getting either closer or farther away. Never staying the same. I just went out to 
the AS and checked the fridge. It has switched over to AC and no longer is on GAS. 
The freezer is cold, but the light now is on "check." Looks like starting up on gas, 
allowed the unit to switch over to AC? Would that have something to do with heating 
up the heating thing?
thanks, bill b.
