Dometic refir not cooling well

[Curt Sprenger]

Another thing to do and maybe it's been mentioned before, is to add one or
two little fans inside the frig., the double D battery squirrel cage ones
that Camping World sells. With these fans it's good to leave a little space
along the frig. sides for the air to circulate. The batteries will last 35 -
40 days.
