Fellows and fellaws:
I just liberated my van from the 40-50# of Dometic (Do nothing) fridge
from my '84 Westfalia.  Long time without use and had to take it out to
catch one of Mickeys parent who made a residence in my van during a
motorless period.  I decided not to put it back, cover the wall with
maysonite and put the door back in so it acts like another cabinet.
Maybe later substitute it with a cooler or one of those thermoelectric
coolers.  Any way, anyone interested in parts from this, let me know
what you want and I'll ship for the freight, from PR 00936.

Any takers?  I think I can hold my wife back for at least a week before
she dumps me and the fridge.

Been here recently.  Check a little website I made of the improvements I
made:

You will see on removal that the fridge needs to be tilted to get the
vent
pipes out.  There is a point of interference between the pipes and the
cabinet above the fridge.  I cut a small piece of the plywood out while
I
had the fridge out to reduce this interference.  Just used a coping saw
and
made sure not to take too much out to affect the strength of the
structure
too much.  Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of that.
