I was thinking about it, too. The hole is an unnatural shape.
Okay.. I will close this hole soon.

yeah.. There is a small fuse box.
Should I check this fuse box?
Does this fuse box have the refrigerator and the relations?

Upper? Lower? Both sides?

Sure.. Should I blow off Air-Inletpipe with the compressor?
The inside of Air-Inlet is a little dirty. But, that doesn't have the trash.

yeah..

That is making it vent in the wall of your van instead of outside.

Maybe.. ;-)

I had the explosion many times. But, chamber never burns continuously.
The refrigerator don't have the hole aluminum foil at the time of this
operation.
I closed the hole at the time of this operation.
Then, I got rid of aluminum foil (Upper and Lower).
The "exhaust heat" runs to Air Inletpipe. The exhaust pipe doesn't become hot.
I did this work outside (inside) Westy. I want to know the originals
refrigerator condition. All of work start from the originals.

> Is it rusty behind your fridge?

No! Very beautiful.. Clean!

Thanks for your help.
