That's pretty amazing. Did PO keep a cap over exhaust/intake flue on
side of van?

Long tube: drain for combustion chamber box. And, if air pump on front
of fridge stops working, some have used this tube for priming
combustion box with air if need be (see archives.... hint hint.    :)

Normal for heat to come out of exhaust at flue (exterior)

Normal for heat to come off back of  fridge.

Somewhere in pics below, you should see a pic of cooling fins on back
of fridge. Gives an idea of amount of heat created. Some are pics of
attempted mods so ignore those.  ;)
