Cool EAA Chapter 95... at OSH...

1. EAA Chapter 95 camp site is at 35th & 36th street just south of Schaick Ave.

2. We got pictures of Doug landing yesterday (will post soon)

3. We got FREE EAA WI-FI internet access at the camp site!!

Come by all EAAer's welcome

OT: My browed RV's refer (NorCold 1200) isn't working on LP, it lights and the flame is nice and blue ... then goes out ... lights again over and over. Any suggestions? Or suggestions on a local RV repair shop that can look at it. I'm running the generator all day to keep it cool, kind of a bummer.

For the RV refg---------check the thermocouple, and air in and out for the combustion-------wasp nest and other stuff that can plug it up.

refer trouble shooting:

1. RV should be level
2. clean thermo couple postioned with the tip in the flame
3. chimney clear

That's about all you can do "on site"

thanks guys ... we tried that with no luck, guess we will have to stop by one of the local RV dealers to see if they can fix it.

PS: added the link for the pictures.
