RE: Norcold noise and Dometic cooling

First, the exhast fan (computer muffin fan) installed where the shore water
inlet used to be has been reported to work very well.  Mark Drillock
apparenly has used this setup and is very happy with it.  I added it to my
rig and was pleased with the amount of heat it was pumping out.  I'm leaving
it in place even with the Norcold.  That heat has to go someplace...

As for the noise/vibration on the Norcold I may have something to report
when I finally get mine buttoned down (still doing some wiring changes
behind it).  I'm putting Sorbothane under the Norcold and if I find it is
touching any other parts of the cabinet when I get done I'll either trim the
cabinets for clearance or insert some kind of damping material between the
Norcold and anything it touches. I'll be taking pictures along the way and
report on the results.  I'm doing this because of comments to me about
vibration from both Karl and Mike.  Thank you Pioneers for blazing the waly
on this.
