Subject:Re: Westy fridge fan on, but fridge is off (I think)

Do you have three push-button in a row:  AC/DC/Gas (maybe in different order)?  That's what my CDN
westy has.  I took mine apart and found that a small plastic part had broken.  I have not been
able to find a replacement, so I put in 3 toggle switches, one for each AC/DC/GAS.

Changing the topic slightly,  I put foil backed bubble insulation (2 layers) in behind the fridge
in the van wall and this summer, my fan NEVER came on (that I heard) even though we drove through
HOT Wash DC.  Malcolm
