The ice trays are cosmetic only. The pair of them make 16 cubes the size of sugar cubes, and take hours to do it, and only in moderate weather.

RV dealer -- get a Fridge Mate fan for ?$25? -- It's better and *way* cheaper than the Dometic fan, and quieter too. Some people have used electronic box-type fans for this, too. Watch clearance, the Fridge Mate has larger blades than the Dometic. There should be a picture on my website showing a mod to the Dometic fan bracket to use the Fridge Mate. The existing thermo-switch works fine and you can save the one that comes with the [Fridge Mate] fan for another application. Unlike every other wiring in the van, the brown wire is hot... david David Beierl - Providence, RI http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation" |
