We just bought our first pop up, 1997 Starcraft 1224 Starlounger. Everything works just fine but the stove. It acts like it doesn't have enough gas pressure to keep it lit. Could it just need cleaning? We are the third owners, the last ones told us they never used the stove. It would not stay lit when we tried to light it...in and out of the wind. I know the gas pressure is fine as we ran the installed furnace that morning, it worked like a champ.
Also, can anyone suggest a website or place to find weather stripping? I need a new piece that runs along the top edge of the door where the fold up door sits. Thanks!

DH guesses perhaps the jets might be rusted shut (or otherwise plugged). I'd also suggest checking to make sure you don't have a leak in the gas line that goes to the stove.

Good luck!

I will check the gas lines. I get the same result trying to light it indoors or out, 2 different lines. Thanks for the tip on the rust/cleaning.

If it had gas left in the tanks or lines it could also have insects in it. Erwigs love the LPG odorizer. Try blowing out the lines...
