On many of my trip the average high was around 80 degrees F (27C). The only place I found frost was on the cooling unit itself. I have to admit that I don't pay too much attention to sun position and such. Neither do I have one of those inside the box fans that the catalogs say improve performance. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A WAY TO TUNE UP ONE OF THESE THINGS? -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Wright <swright@MAIL.SLS.BC.CA> To: Vanagon@VANAGON.COM <Vanagon@VANAGON.COM> Date: Wednesday, May 27, 1998 6:00 PM Subject: Re: Westy fridge efficiency in 12v mode

Two days into our first long trip, we had frozen milk for breakfast... Ever since then I have kept the thermostat at about 3/4, and even then, things on the top rack still get nearly frozen. Much of this may be the ambient temp also - this trip it was only about 15 deg C as a high. ======================== Shawn Wright Computer Systems Manager Shawnigan Lake School 250-743-6240 swright@sls.bc.ca |
