The most important thing is that your exhaust flue be perfectly aligned with the funny cover thing on the side of the van. You can align it with a broomstick or large dowel ---- this is the most important part. I also siliconed the covering baffle to the side of the van so that no air could get in that way ---- but I figure it was aligning the exhaust flue that did the trick. My fridge might blow out once a year now, and only in extreme conditions. Cheers, Doug |
