Hi, just in case you picked up that Trailmanor, a few notes on our older model fridge. We have an 87 and the fridge was not cooling well on trips. I pulled the cover on the side of the trailer and saw that there was very little insulation above the fridge and added layers of styrofoam and fiberglass. Then I pulled the fan that had been somewhat noisy. It was a little 3 blade plastic thing like you might have on the dash. I added a drain pipe elbow to get the air pick up at the top of the chamber and then replace the fan with a computer fan with a tiny amperage drain and much higher efficiency. Now I just leave the fan switch on all the time and the fridge works very well. We went the the Rally in Colorado last summer and had everything stay cool the whole way. After we got home I forgot to turn the fan off, and a few days later walked by the trailer to hear a quiet buzzing. It was still going! Have fun with the trailer.
