Dometic refrigerator

[John Suter]

Tom, our vacuum develops in the right-hand freezer
section of the Norcold. Both freezer sections appear
sealed and I don't recall seeing any vent tubes from
there; however, the refrigerator has a catch pan under
its fins, with a tube to the rear and outside for
drainage.
