Subject:      About your west fridge blowing out at highway speeds

(and no, I don't want to hear the opinions of those who don't believe in
running the fridge underway. This is not for you)

Just had to remind myself that the best-maintained westy fridge will blow
out if the metal plate trapped under the flue vent cover is not absolutely
parallel to the face of the flue vent cover and perfectly aligned with the
edge of the rubber lip of the mounting pad. You don't even get two
millimeters to be off, maybe not even one. You should be able to sight over
the edge of the black rubber rim and see that middle plate aligned with the
edge of the rubber. The slightest deviation from perfect will blow the
fridge out.

You can loosen the three screws on the flue vent cover and readjust the
plate, checking after tightening each screw.
