Well, we have been settling in and getting to know our old rig, which we bought last May.  Spent the summer doing lots of big and little stuff.  Replaced the escape hatch and did some eternabonding of seams on front cab, which has stopped the small insidious leak up there.  We just went on our first real trip with it...a short 120 mile jaunt to the Ocean Shores, WA area.  She ran and served us well for a week, with most everything working well.

I have been religiously reading message digests and searching the archives to find out answers to many of my husband's questions, as they come up (he's the mechanic).  On our trip, we discovered the oven doesn't work.  The stove top works great, although I have to manually light.  He got the pilot lit, but the flame is very wimpy. When he warms the thermocoupler up manually, he can turn the oven on, so he now wants to do some dismantling and inspection.

His question, today, that I can't find an answer to here or elsewhere, is: Is there a gas shut off for the stove only, or does he have to shut down the main LP tank?  Am hoping Andy may know this, or anyone else that owned a mid 80's LD.

We do have the original book for the stove, as well as other info gathered online, but this answer is eluding him.  I can't tell you how many times I've found something Andy has posted, let my husband read it, and he walks away saying "Thank You, Andy!"

The stove does not have its own shut off. Use the propane tank's valve to shut the flow of propane.
The stove's supply can be plugged using a 3/8" male flared brass fitting. Available at most home centers.
