I have heard that the thermo-heat transfer glue between the pipes and the
fins can

Dry up and stop transferring heat/cold.  I have seen this in the archives

Tried the archives but no (easy) hits.

The dometic in the 87 westy is icing up the pipes (in both propane &
110v mode) -- not frosting the fins -- ice forms on the horizontal tubes
behind the fins.

Nobody has suggested that the dometic is too efficient (yeah, right), so
I'm assuming there's a flow problem. And yes - it's on level ground.

Suggestions?

TIA,
J
