Thanks for the many good responses. Yes, I think my fridge has very poor ventilation. As we always use it for 2-3 months and then store the trailer, I usually have no time to empty the fridge (tons of food in there) and pull it out. But I will save an extra day this time at the end of our...

This is just a modding idea for RV absorption fridges. I would like to know what you think about it. Usually people install 1,2 or up to 4 fans onto the back of their RV fridge to have an better airflow and to get heat away from the condenser fins on the top-back of the fridge. Would it make...

I have installed a few fans now around the top of the chimney, and in betweend the coild and the condenser fins. It does help against the wind problem. It does not cool on temperatures above 90F. I swap ice in 1/2 gallone milk bottles from the freezer to the fridge every 12 hours to keep it...

Hi This is a follow up to my older discussion about cooling problems on our Dometic RV. It took me some while to find out that the fridge will not cool when a certain wind speed is reached. Usually when our awning beginns to make noise and rattles and we take it down during night also the...

I will install fans on the outside of the chimney now. Have to do it outside (but under the chimney top) as I do not want to open the whole roof sealing. Placing the thermostat does not change anything, fridge is always running on full 100% operation. I can even put the thermostat down from...

Thanks Will try the dollar bill test again, I did not do it on all areas. Actually there is some tension...but I am not sure how much tension there should be. Actually the sealing looks really good and is soft and clean. When I touch the cooling fins inside they do not feel very cold at all...

Hi We have a Dometic RV fridge, it might be about 10 years old. During normal weather it is cooling fine. Down in Florida we have around 85 degree F and the fridge is not cooling enough. The freezer compartment is still cold enough to freeze everything. I have installed 2 fans on the...

This is the same? So it is called ACME (the bottle end?) https://www.amazon.com/Onlyfire-Connects-Appliance-Refillable-Cylinder/dp/B019BUX21S/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1475942440&sr=8-4&keywords=Propane%2BHose%2BAssembly%2Bwith%2BAcme&th=1 I have just ordered the wrong thing I guess...and finding...

:o Yeah, I am not surprised getting so many different answers.. :-) First: I had bought nearly(!) the same hose/adapter from Walmart before for 12$, that worked well. BUT, it was only 4ft long, too short for my usage,  I had to take out the big bottle from the trailer to use it... It was this...

Hello I am getting nuts with the different adapters between propane brasses. What I have: 1) A small propane bbq that will work with disposable bottles (the small dark green bottles) 2) this 12ft hose https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XMTBEDS?ref_=pe_1196280_123950170 - that fits to my trailers...

Oh, I was also reading this old thread, someone had the same problem and had to check the hot water check valve. Now, I absolute have no idea where that hot water check valve is placed... It is a 2005 keystone cougar 5th wheel trailer http://www.irv2.com/forums/f101/no-hot-water-pressure-89381.html

Hello Our Water HEater is a Suburban Electric/Gas model, propably 10 years old. I have 2 problems with it at the moment: First: Today we suddenly lost pressure on the hot water, there was only a very thiny flow anylonger (but it was hot). Anyway, I was able to bring it back to full pressure at...

BTW: A electrical-only fridge is no option for us. And one last question: I am still unsure if I have put that heater element back into the right tube. There are 2 tubes in the chimney which can hold the heater. just next to each other. one is on the back,one on the front...

My experienc on replacing a cooling unit with an amish re-manufactured unit * re-build units take a lot of more time to install * We finisehd the job today. Tooks us together about 10 hours (of course we had no experience) Biggest problem: The delivered unit was total bend into at least 2...

Hi Rene There is actually a recall for our fridge  :-\ Makes me nervouse a little bit now. The fridge was supposed to burn down everything, when the leak appears and it is running on propane... These things are f*** dangerours. Anyway, to my understanding Dometic will not replace the cooling...
