Dometic fridge on Gas

ok - camped by the beach out of Exmouth, temperature 32-35 celcius, not much shade.

Does this help?

Yeah it does.
Cause I'm on the East caost and if you were near I could give you a list of some around here, but you being over there I'm sorry i can't help.
Someone will be able to point you in the right direction.
Do you have a fan fitted to the rear of the fridge? cause this will help with blowing the hot air of the fins at the back. If you can shade that area of the van with shade cloth or something similar it will also help.
And make sure it is dead level in both directions.
These things sure help it run better.

Hi Jon,

We have a fan fitted to the rear of the fridge, we've also had the cabling upgraded to thicker stuff - we've even got some shade cloth too. So we're trying to do all the right things. Thanks for the tip about ensuring it's level.

Thanks again.

Being out of level is their biggest enemy.
On our Swan I have two levels fixed to the outside, one above the door and the other on the front just under the roff section. I get it within the marks on both, wind the top up, set it all up then I use a 6" level to check the fridge and make fine adjustments to get it as close as I can to level.
Have a look at the bottom of this page, Three Way Fridge Ventilation Upgrade they have put a fan inside the fridge as well to help.
Another thing, some people have said they have found mud wasp's nest of late in the chimney/exhaust of their their fridges, check to see if they haven't built a nest in yours.

I have fitted a fan in my 3way. Just a normal 4" fan to the top grill but I have blocked the rest of the grill up so that the fan is the only exit for hot air but I have installed baffles all around the top evaporator. It works great. no themometer, no resister and the fan is held in position with bolts not cable tires.
