Subject:Re: Stock fridge vent delete option

Dave,

At home all day today, warm day now in the afternoon and I’m drenched in sweat from yard work.

But….

At noon I turned on the fridge , dc power. The inside van temp was 28, the inside fridge temp was 25. Van in the sun, fridge side of the van facing south.

At one o’clock , fridge temp was 3.0.  Of course this is empty fridge and not pulling down the temp of non pre chilled comestibles. The temp in the fridge seems to range from 0 to 3 at this setting. Again the temp swing due to no thermal mass inside.

But the point is, it cools down fairly fast.

Just another bit of anecdotal evidence :-)
