These items for pickup only so if you are not in the Puget Sound region you
probably arn't interested.
I've installed a different refrigerator in my '90 Westy and have two items
that someone might be interested in.
First a freebee.  One Group 41 battery, lead acid.  This was in use as my
aux battery for several years.  I've replaced it with a much larger battery
under the rear seat.  It will fit any Vanagon.  I say free because I have no
idea what condition it is in.  It's been working fine but with some
indication that it runs down a little faster than when new.  Anyway, free to
anyone that wants to pick it up here in Lynnwood.

Second is a newer model Dometic refigerator.  This is the model that came in
the '90-'91 Westfalias  and has the almost automatic ignition system for the
propane.  Turn it to propane and a little red light starts to flash.  Push
one button (no pumping) and hold it until the red light quits blinking and
you are done and running.  The cooling system is working fine, cools great
on 12v DC or 110 AC.  And it normally lights just fine on propane.  BUT,
even though it stays lit it doesn't cool on propane.  It's just not getting
enough propane (not running hot enough) to circulate the coolant.  It could
be a clogged jet, it could be a problem with the thermostat control.  Also
the little fan in the back that circulates air needs to be replaced, an easy
job.  The fan motor on there now (a replacement that is to large) is very
noisy.  I was going to go with a muffin fan setup like GoWesty sells.
Now I could take this into RV Mobile  http://www.rvmobile.com/ just up the
road from me and get it fixed.  If I do that then the going price for a good
Dometic has been running around $350.  BUT, if you want to come and get it
it's $125 to the first person that want's it.

Contact me directly at labusch@verizon.net or LL 425-771-3646 on either of
these.
