Hi all.

I'm pretty sure the wiring aspect of this would work. Please advise if not.

Possibly useful for people that have a Dometic fridge with fridge
relay installed on fridge itself (1980-81 Westies) but want fridge to
run on 12V, engine NOT running.

Refer to "Camper 1980-1981". P 97.32b in Bentley.

Disconnect blue wire that runs from term 61 of connector under dash to
fridge relay. Install a #20 jumper wire from term. 30 to term. 85 of
fridge relay.

Stock configuration:

switched to "12V" at fridge switch, supply goes from switched
connection, through grey wire to term. 30 of relay. This does nothing
until engine is running. When engine running, 12V is sent from a blue
wire from under dash, via connectors, to term. 85 of relay. This
activates relay so switch inside closes and allows 12V to go to
heating element.

Engine on: relay on. Engine off: relay off.

When blue wire disconected, jumper installed, engine OFF and fridge
switch set to "12V", supply sent to term 30, is also sent to term 85
which activates relay.

Curious if fridge switch will handle the extra (albeit small) load.

Anyone know if it will?

Many thanks,

Neil
