Hey that's a great little mod !
I was going to say, breeze coming down from the vent.

Nitpicking - it's not a pilot light.  It is 'the flame' that is makes the
fridge work.
But what you meant is clear of course !

Gilles,

You could try the easy mod that John of Northwest Campers does for his
fleet of Vanagons. It's just a small deflector on the leading edge of
