Okay, so I bought a 1993 hy-line trailer a few months ago, got it home, and all seemed good. Until it sat for a couple weeks, because now there is a really bad smell as soon as you open the door. Propane tank was empty/off for the first 2 months I had it (so it's not a propane leak), black/grey tanks are empty and dry, checked every nook and cranny, to no avail. HOWEVER, peeking in to the gap above the fridge I could see something was there. I pulled off the vent cover on the roof, and can see the screen cover had been repaired long ago, but was in good shape, though on the other side of the screen was pine cones/needles/leaves. I'm wondering if the previous owner had only fixed a hole and not cleaned out the leaves etc, or if something had found a way in otherwise. Suffice it to say I would like to clean it all out. The problem is, that I can not for the life of me I can not figure out how to remove the fridge. There's no access panel on the outside of the trailer, so it's not propane (also, there is no control switch/panel to change it to electric/auto etc), as well as on the bottom of the fridge, I can see the coils through the front cover. It looks like just a standard (mid 90's) household fridge. No visible bolts/screws that I can find what so ever. Has anyone seen this? Any idea on how to remove it without tearing the whole bloody thing apart? Everything works, it's just that there is a really bad smell!
On a side note, since it seems to be an electric fridge, does that vent on the roof even need to be there? There's a good amount of hot air escaping through it, seems to me that's just a HUGE waste!! Can I just plug it if/when I figure out the fridge issue? I'd love to get some feedback on that though, wouldn't want to miss-understand how this works, plug it, and smother myself or something crazy like that!!
Any info/help would be greatly appreciated, this is my first post here, so I hope it wasn't too long winded, and makes sense!
