refer

Gary--
Just a question from someone who doesn't know----
My previous (SOB) vehicles have all had a sheetmetal "chimney" and IFRC the
thing got pretty hot during propane operation of the refer. Are you sure that
there will be no fire potential with a fiberglass duct??? Other than fire, it
sounds like a great idea.

I thought I heard some squeeking on the right side. I guess it was not the
CV joint but while I was there I saw the grease..... so called the guy who
did the work and he said there is 3 cups of grease in there so no problem
but I am going by to have them reworked.
