Yes, I can see the foam in first picture. Since mine is a 19, my upper vent is way up high, by the roof so the refer is right between the two vents and my arms are short>>>I'll give it a try though.

I saw the space on the side, the side towards the rear when I took off the lower vent. I assume you took off the upper vent which has something like 18 screws holding it on?

I see one installation mistake already, Dometic states in the pdf that the space above the refer should be blocked off from the rear to prevent hot air being trapped. In the 19', there is about 6"...

With solar you should only be drawing 3-4 amps less your charging, did you ever measure your net loss while hooked up to tug, if 1-2 amps loss, may be worth to switch to DC?

While operating on DC, was there a big drain on your battery? Do you have solar and 2x6's or just one battery? I'd like to think that 12v is a viable choice for non propane situations.

Re: Refrigerator not cooling on the road

great idea Jon, keeps the turbulence down and the refer stays on. Does it fit in the opening entirely to keep bugs out also?

The fridge vents are removable, the lower one has 2 plastic screws in upper corners. The upper have about 12 square head screws. I always install screening behind these vents to keep out insects and...

Re: Refrigerator not cooling on the road

Another option is a thermometer for your freezer and refer. It has remote sensors that will not only tell you current reading but also a min and a max reading. Thus it will record for you if your...

Re: Refrigerator not cooling on the road

Re: Refrigerator not cooling on the road
