Subject:Re: Out goes the Norcold, in goes the Vitrifrigo

Strange, my VF installation required hardly a touch of change from the
former Norcold cutout - perhaps I cut mine larger way back then.

Please check the current draw again - I have measured as much as 3.6 on
startup, but settles back to 2.5 after a few seconds. VF averages it to 2.8.
