Hi,

If you run the RM212 fridge just on electric or battery(whilst driving) would you still need the original venting connected or would a simple plastic vent do for cooling the system.

Thanks

Many thanks,So I presume it doesn't get that hot whilst not running on gas and a simple vent or fan would cool it fine.

Hi

I have no vents fitted as yet as I have only just bought the fridge.I've seen a couple of these fridges fitted badly and running on gas without the back being sealed off from the interior.Even though  vents are fitted.

I only want this one to run of the battery or electric hence the cooling question with the fans.

Many thanks every one for the replies and thanks papa pip for the files.

Where I have positioned the fridge in the van is right in front of the sliding door  I hadn't planned on renewing the cooler that was there.

Even though I can vent the exhaust to go outside the only way of venting the fridge in this position is to have the bottom vent coming through the floor and the top vent on the back of the cupboard which is accessable whilst the sliding door is open.Hence the reason for the fans.

The only problem being is that the warm air will be circulated back in the van with door closed and directly outside with it open.

I must stress that NO gas is supplied to the fridge.
