My Norcold N430 would not work at 7500 elevations for the last 7 years. So I made an appt with…read moreArizona Route 66 RV Repair to diagnose at 7100 ft elev. 10 miles west of Flagstaff in town called Bellemont. I was impressed one person reviewed they took their RV to 3 other repair places, who could not resolve the issue, but Jeff at Route 66 solved it. He is both Norcold and Dometic Factory Certified Technician. Jeff blew off the altitude reason. He said no reason why it shouldn't work at 7000 - 8000 ft elev. He said if I lived full time in my RV at 10,000 feet, maybe then I would have to do the modifications. He felt my problem was my flame sensor was dirty. I told him I only do dispersed camping on dusty roads. He said "dirty has nothing to do with road dust. Dirty is when the sensor gets corroded (turns green color) from years of having the gas flame on it". But my flame sensor was really hard to remove, almost inaccessible. Took him 15 min to find the right tool in his extensive drill bit case to get one that could remove the sensor that was in real awkward spot, so I don't think I could do it myself. He cleaned the flame sensor with a piece of sandpaper. Looks like an "L" shaped allen wrench. I learned that a corroded flame sensor cannot sense the flame, so it shuts off the propane thinking there is no flame . No propane, no flame, so no cold fridge. There was no answer why the "corroded" is only when I was at high altitudes, but four days ago on June 8, 2020, when I drove to their 7100 ft store elev from 1200 elev, the flame stayed on all night at 7100 feet even BEFORE Jeff cleaned the sensor. But May 14, 2020, I camped at 7500 feet, the flame refused to stay on the whole 4 days at camp, and my food all got spoiled. Jeff spent maybe 30 min on my fridge, including 15 looking for the right bit to remove the propane sensor. Cost me their minimum charge of 1 hour $145. Jeff spent another 30 min educating me about fridges, and also told me not to let my battery get too low or I will have problems with the fridge. Here I thought the battery was only needed for the ignitor when on propane. Jeff said No, the whole fridge needs power for all it's functions to work. If I was gonna be dispersed camping for many days, I should consider solar panels. Jeff said I should have my fridge serviced and cleaned this way every 2 years. He said the fact that my fridge is still running at 22 years old, is pretty darn good. (Norcold discontinued my fridge model N430 in 1999, 1 year after it was purchased by previous owner.) Now I camped 4 days at over 7000 ft elevation and the flame is strong, the green flame light stays steadily on and the ignitor has never ticked after Jeff cleaned it. Horay, finally I have ice and cold drinks! But I won't be going on another camping trip "to use my fridge" till I find another 5 speed tranny, cos when I was driving home, my stick could not find the gears, causing cars to pile up behind me, honk and honk, or go around me, cos I was stopped or coasting trying to find the gear. Bad synchronizers. If not one thing, it's another, with these 40 year old rigs. Here are photos of my Toyota 1982 Sunrader, and the 2 elk at my Flagstaff campout, at Marshall Lake, where I enjoyed ICE and cold drinks, thanks to Jeff!

I called and told them we were 15 minutes from them and were headed 45 minutes North to a campground with no utilities so we really needed the generator.

GAS LEAK, WATER LEAK, AND TIRE ISSUES!!!…read more Our trip started with barely being able to find the location to pick up the RV as they were tucked away at a body shop/junk yard with no sign. Next, we heard a loud screeching noise coming from a tire while driving on the freeway and found the metal bars reinforcing the mud flap dislodged and were piercing the tire. How does a bar just unbolt itself while on a smooth freeway?? We bent the bar back as much as we could but only got the sharp edge 2 inches away from the tire. While we were asleep boondocking in a forest that night, an alarm went off and the whole RV filled with a nauseating propane smell. Customer service instructed us to immediately turn the propane knob to the LEFT to turn it off and open windows/doors. We waited 20 minutes for her to consult with her coworkers and tell us the knob should actually turn to the RIGHT. We were instructed to call the police, whom instructed us to call 911, whom sent the fire department to us. They concluded it was a gas leak and to not use any amenities other than the engine to drive it back the next day. We felt so unsafe in the RV and customer service's advice so took a taxi to the nearest hotel. Reluctantly, we drove the RV back the next day but not before realizing A WATER LEAK under the RV. It looks like we just got pretty unlucky with the RV provided to us, but I still would NOT recommend this experience to ANYONE

He also gave me many recommendations on stuff that wasn't even on my list that i need to be aware of. We're new to RVs, we love the RV and yes I would recommend Dave all day long. I forgot to tell you that what we ended up replacing. There was an electrical outlet that I didn't even know was there and in these RVs there's not many electrical outlets. We glad to have this but it didn't work. It wasn't the outlet itself it was the wires had been burned back in a box it was kind of hard to find. I also had two other RV repairman look at this and Blythe and neither one could figure it out. I kind of gave up on it until I went with my friend's recommendation and again I'm glad we did.
