Subject:      how to test fridge?
Comments: To: Vanagon@VANAGON.COM

I was looking at an '87 camper today, and I'm wondering how the proper operation of the fridge can be tested. There's no propane, but I'd like to check it on 110 and 12V.

Since there's no time to let it cool, all I can do is see the light come on indicating 12V operation. Should I be hearing any sound at all?

Also, I tried hooking up city water, and once the hose was turned on to let water into the outlet on the side of the vanagon, the water pump sound was continuous whether or not the knob was turned to let water come out. This doesn't seem normal, and when the city water was disconnected, the pump would only make a sound when the knob was turned to the direction to access the water tank. Any thoughts about this?

As much as I've learned over the last couple of years about the mechanical aspects of vanagons, the camper features are still new to me.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
