For those of us with Dometics that are, uh, less efficient, making
sure thermostat is turned to "Max" may help when lighting. Especially
when fridge already cooled down. i.e. pre cooled from night before on
AC.

The flame on mine wouldn't always stay lit when fridge already cold
and I was switching to LP. When thermostat turned further clockwise
(past point was "cooled" to) and then lit, the flame stayed on.

My theory: when switching from AC to LP and thermostat left at setting
used to cool fridge on AC, or set "lower", flame possibly smaller
("pilot" mode. Normal if no cooling power needed at that moment) than
when thermostat set higher thus "telling" flame to be bigger to make
things cooler.

When cooling needs demand the larger flame, it may help it stay lit
when switching modes.

Hope this helps,
