new 172

Lunarpodule, as a fellow 172 owner we had similar problems. I found that my L P gas tank had not been purged properly, the guy at the fill station let about 1/3 out and filled it. after you know the tank if filled properly run both burners of your stove for a few minutes, then light the hot water heater with gas (make sure water heater if full) once the water heater runs ok the fridge should be no problem as the water heater is the further most link on the gas line. I take about 5 gallons of fresh water in the tank while enroute, fill up at the camp sight to save weight. Your HRE should have risers. try rubbing alcohol on a paper towel to remove the glue on the microwave. little problems will work their way out. the bottom line is the pod is small but packed with a lot of good things and you can have a million dollars worth of fun for a few thousand dollars.
