We just picked up our 2013
Scamp 13 last weekend. Its in great shape but has not been used much ever. That said it needed some maintenance that had not been done in years. The heater would stay lit so I cleaned out the intake which was full of mud from wasps and fixed that. The water tank flame was not blue but a lazy orange so I cleaned that and now that works.
Fridge propane pilot would not stay lit so cleaned the burner. Looking at the diagram, the burner jet may be missing. I don't think it was not on the end of the gas pipe unless its firmly attached there. It did not appear to be in the burner. There were bug parts in there though and I cleaned all that out and reassembled everything.
I turned the control to high like the instructions say and tried to
light with the electric piezo but it would not
light but I was able to get the pilot to
light with a flame. Stopped pushing down on the control and it stayed lit. Success! Or maybe success. I heard the sound of gas hissing. Seconds later flames were coming out of the vents above the vent you open to access the
fridge controls. I quickly ran to turn of the tank and the flames went out.
Any idea what would cause this? We are heading out this evening to camp with our new
Scamp and I am wondering if its safe to use the stove and heater?
Thoughts?
