Or... you can end all the fridge voodo and get an Isotherm fridge like
this one: http://vickersdesign.com/vanagon/fridge2.jpg

I found in on eBay for $250 brand new and - are you ready for this -
you turn a knob and it goes on! Turn it the other way and it goes off!
Amazing!

Seriously folks - I did every Dometic mod known to man and I could
never get more than a 35 - 40F differential. That means that out here
in CA when its 95F inside your van it is 60F in your fridge. = (
