Well those results were under "Lab" conditions as more or less
outlined, but should hold up to some degree.

Thanks for encouragement.

Part of why I'm doing the mod etc. is to "pay back" to the list.

I hope to pull the 40F differential without duct, but if needed, I'll
start cutting.

At worst, I'll have the hum of a 79 CFM fan to put me to sleep......

An here's irony at its' best.

THE DAY after I get Dometic running on LP properly, my residential
fridge starts running warm.... like 50F warm.

Lucky me. I have a spare Dometic in the basement.

It's getting tested on AC as we "speak".


Neil.
