Subject:Re: '81 westy fridge fuse holder

Danny -

Hmmm, this is a new one on me.  I'm no expert, but I've never heard
of a Westfalia fridge with a fuse in its control panel.  The only fuse
arrangement I'm aware of is that there's a little black plastic box,
about an inch square, on the base of the pillar just behind the driver's
door.  It has two German-style fuses in it - one for the pump, and one
for the fridge.  Red wires lead in and out of it.

What's the brand and model number of your fridge (probably printed
inside the door)?  Can you describe more about what the fuse holder
you're looking for is like?  The standard Westy fridge is a Dometic
RM182A or RM182B.  Do you have something different?

If you have an RM182 A or B, go to http://www.rv.com, click on
"Publication search", and search for "RM182".  You'll find some
Dometic service manuals, some of which have drawings, parts lists,
etc. that may be of some help to you.
