We just had it done at our site by our dealer who doesn't do mobile repairs - we have a great dealer: Traveler's RV in Reno.

Dometic authorized $60 or less for a trip charge. We were told that if it were more, then the amount would have to be kicked upstairs for approval; $60 and under can be authorized by a CSR if you are permanent.

The tech came out and I watched. Basically, it involves a thermistat in the flue tube to turn off the circuitry (and the flame) if it gets too hot, presumable from combustible ammonia. In addition, he "sealed" the majority of the seams in the flue tube such that the only place I could see flame was at the very bottom. It does make it a little difficult to get to the propane valve, but it is doable. Took all of 20 minutes and a $20 tip.
