Some guys get no respect;) Guess you need to be a squirrel.  I was trying to point out in my last message, that you can use some inner tube material to seal the opening through the side of the van. I believe there is a black neoprene gasket there right now, just replace that gasket with some inner tube material, and you're home free. If I recall I took the flat metal plate out of mind as well as it's no longer needed. Enjoy your new fridge, but if you're like me, you're probably going to end up replacing your auxiliary battery soon too to accommodate the extra power requirements.
