RE: Dometic Cooling There was a lot of discussion on this very subject about two years ago. The concensus at that time was that the Dometic, on propane, would pull temps down about 40 degrees F below ambient. Two mods can improve this: Batter 'fridge fan for better airflow over the cooling fins and second, adding an exhaust fan to gets the hot air out from behind the refigerator, the hot air trapped between the back of the 'fridge and the outside wall of the van. Various degrees of success have been reported with either or both of those modifications. |
