Many problems with RV appliances can be avoided by cleaning them every 6 months, or after being stored and not used. The easiest way to do this is with an air hose with PSI of approx 80# of pressure.
Refrigerators: ( Both Norcold Refrigerators and Dometic Refigerators ) Remove outside access cover and blow debris out of compartment. Remove the burner cover and blow out the burner and the flue. Check the orifice for debris and blow it off also. If the flue is extremely clogged, there is a special tool available to brush it out.
Propane RV Water Heater: Open outside access door. Blow out burner, exhaust, orifice, and burner tube
LP or Propane RV Furnace: Blow out intake and exhaust on outside your motorhome, travel trailer or fifith wheel. The orifice on the furnace is inaccessible without removing the entire furnace from the RV, and generally does not require maintenance. Do not stand in front of intake and exhaust when blowing out, as debris will fly out. It is important to clear the furnace after periods of non use, or storage. Small birds and insects have been known to build nests in them and restrict the exhaust.
Every month you should clean the intake filter on your roof air conditioner.
These are quick easy maintenance things to keep your RV experiences fun.

Well that's very easy. We did have some problems with the water heater in my RV. But we fixed it thanks to some kind people who lend us a helping hand. Luckily they did, and the RV didn't blew up, hahaha.
