Since my Westy is garaged, I have not recently experienced that issue, but vaguely remember it being the case.  I have the Dometic manual and it does not address this issue.  Can someone confirm if this is normal?

Page 3 of the Dometic Manual, under b/ 12 Volts d.c.:

"In order to improve the cooling performance under difficult built-in
situation and high ambient termperatures a 0.6 W ventilator is switched on
automatically when the temperature around the condensor fins is about
126 degrees F and switched off at 106 degrees F. The ventilator is connected to the 12V
system."
