This is a follow-up FYI for all you high altitude campers. After experiencing CO detector alarms while running our fridge on propane at 10,500 ft. I subsequently ran the fridge on propane for 2 days in my driveway with no alarms. We live at 7,000 ft. Suspecting an altitude problem with incomplete combustion, I called our dealer and learned that there is a high altitude modfication kit for our fridge. It's on order and I suspect it will fix this problem. Now as to why the dealer didn't mention this when we bought our unit (since we do live in Colorado), I couldn't tell you!
