Back to the original thread!

checked my internal refrigerator temp this morning and it is 29 F and the outside temperature was 67 F.  inside the van was 70 F. dial was set to Max cooling.

  Am I correct that this is the expected functioning of my stock refrigerator with all stock parts and no related van mods?
I was considering pulling it to clean and upgrade to go westy fan but am thinking that is probably a bad idea with it working well at this point.  Van has always lived inside and from what I can tell it is clean behind and under the unit.  I even keep the original outside vent cover on when not in use.

OK, I’ll admit it.  Before lighting yesterday I turned on the stove burners each just for a couple of seconds.  they sounded air free and smooth.  I’ll light refrigerator without doing this next time.  Hum, or maybe I’ll   keep doing it as a good luck charm!

Beverages cold and waiting.  Is it 5:00 o’clock somewhere?
