Subject:Attn: Dometic Experts! - does the 12 volt function really work ?
From:Scott Daniel - Turbovans
Date:Tue, 22 Jul 2008 18:50:53 -0700

( thanks for the google links and pics Neil...........but no dice on being
able to join google though  tried 8 times )

now.........my real reason to post :
83 waterboxer westy.
Dometic fridge does 38 degrees F overnight on 110AC.
does 'OK' on propane.  Doesn't seem real strong, but saw 41 degrees and fan
on back of fridge cycles off and on.

but on 12 volts driving - only drove 30 minutes so perhaps that's why it
doesn't seem to do much.
I did check that the relay under the seat energizes and suppies power to one
of the fuses behind the driver's seat when the alternator is charging.
so is that 'just how they are' ? ..........ie. very slow in the 12volt mode.
thnx,
scott
