woops typo what I ment to say was replacing the fan on the back with a
12volt computer fan.  I did a Google search for Thermal Mastic, and found
this site, they sell tubes of the stufff for $10.00  I havn't ordered it
yet, as it looks like it will be 10 times as much as I need.   But I will
probably go ahead and order it.  http://www.rvmobile.com/PARTS/EQUIPMENT.HTM
