@Verna, Am I gonna have to give you the @Homebodyatheart lecture about reading the manuals????

@ericnliz, right after my house goes up for sale I will have time!  Patience, grasshopper, patience!  

The books/manuals are under the bed. I’ve been taking an afternoon/evening break out there daily to get Sunny Day used to the 400 and I need to take some of that break to read!

This sequence has allowed me to start the frig on propane on the very first try for over a year now.  This is a 2016 Norcold with the "guts" on the left side:

Level the trailer.

Open valve on propane bottle very slowly.

Light one burner on the stove and leave it on for about 40 seconds.  Turn off the stove.

Move the temperature knob on the Norcold to the 6 O'clock position.

Push the red ignition button in and hold until the green light comes on.

Wait no less than 60 seconds while holding the red button in with the green light on.

SLOWLY release the red button.  The frig should now be lit and the green light on.

Hope this helps.

You use the 6 oclock position instead of the 12 oclock that is labeled “Start”?

Only a guess but expect 12 & 6 o'clock references are just different ways of viewing the knob.
The 3136 Manual states "place the Knob in the Start Position", Press & Hold the Gas Safety Button, then press the igniter button.
