Keep in mind that while the Westy fridge model has a nice safe snorkel for the fridge combustion gases most other model fridges don't. New 2 way or 3 way fridges are meant to be installed in an air tight cabinet with respect to the vehicle interior. They rely on large vents on the outside wall of the vehicle. A lower vent to supply fresh air for combustion and an upper vent to let the gases out. These outside vents are fine for an RV vehicle but add complications for our vans.
