Re: Dometic fridge auto selections

This is all getting confusing. We pull up to a service station and worry about propane being on or off. Propane does not ignite gasoline or diesel fuel. Electrical ignition does that. So to be safe...

Re: Dometic fridge auto selections

Does a solenoid via a toggle switch do this?

Re: Dometic fridge auto selections

I had the propane shutoff switch on my 2005 P-W Plateau. I never understood how a toggle switch could close a gas valve. Can anyone explain that? Is it not doing that and just stopping electrical...

Re: Dometic fridge auto selections

Just turn the whole refrigerator off. I can do that with my 3-way. Push and hold the button 2 seconds until the idiot lights go out. Even if a refrigerator is an automated one you still have to be...

Re: Dometic fridge auto selections

So, you are saying you prefer to shut down your whole B, including detectors, alarms, lighting, outlets, heater, etc. just to turn off DC on your refrigerator?

Re: Dometic fridge auto selections

Thus why the automated 3-way instead of manual Dometic and back to topic. :)

We have a routine and primary responsibilities for stopping and getting underway, and we check each other for...

Here is the 2005 Pleasure-Way Plateau battery disconnect switch located in a cabinet under the sofa bed ottoman in the back of the van.

Re: Dometic fridge auto selections

If you are fuel stops or restroom breaks I don't see much reason to turn the refrigerator off DC. I would venture to bet some day you'll forget to turn it back on. I know I have. Besides, on a manual...

Re: Dometic fridge auto selections

I didn't think the purpose of the battery disable switch was for a day to day use and function. I thought the switch was to disconnect the battery for mostly storage when the B was not in use as it...

Re: Dometic fridge auto selections

Battery disable switches on Bs are not always convenient. On my 2005 Pleasure-way Plateau it was in the back of the B in a cabinet under the ottoman. On my current Great West Van you have to open the...

Re: Dometic fridge auto selections

I have a manual 3-way Dometic. I run it on propane almost all the time unless plugged in. It's not a big deal to turn it off for a few minutes when fueling diesel. With manual, I don't run DC much...
