Subject:      Modifying a Dometic Refrigerator in an 84 Westy
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

Hi all,
I need the advice of some of the Refrig experts on the list. I am going to
try and increase the efficiency of the Dometic frig. in my 84 Westy. I have
read that some people add a computer fan to the coils on the back of the
refrigerator. I am planning on doing that, What I am wondering is should I
disconnect the stock fan and mount the computer fan in its place? Or
perhaps should I try and keep them both? Would two computer fans be better
then one? Perhaps one on the top coil and one on the bottom coil? Does this
modification really make a difference? Also is there any truth to the rumor
that by turning the refrigerator upside down for a period of time before
re-installing it that sometimes efficiency is increased?
Thank you all for any help you can give me I really appreciate it!
