It would be a cheap fix or modification Not so sure about that. For a start, the thermoelectric coolers work about as well as a Westy fridge, i.e. about 40 degees below ambient. Second they take something approaching 5 amps continuous -- the Coleman 120vac power supply delivers 5.25 amps. Third, the cooler is probably better insulated than the Dometic fridge, prolly better off to just use it as is. d David Beierl - Providence, RI http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation"
