    External Propane connection?

    Is there a way to hook up an outside grill to the built in Propane tank? I can't see how to delete this, but some simple searching found many threads on the subject, sorry about that.

    Insignia Propane Stove / oven igniter conundrum

    Forest Rivers choice of this unit leaves me wondering if the designers took all things into consideration. It is a nice stove with a good size oven but it is a propane device and the igniters only work when plugged into Shore Power. I can manually light the stove top burners but the oven is...

    Power for CO/Propane detector

    Was replacing mine and think blew the circuit letting wires touch. No power. Is there a fuse somewhere for the power to the detector? I can't find anything else yet that lost power, so assume it is on it's own circuit, but can't locate. Its a 2017 FR3 30DS Thanks,
