Frank, I have a need to install a 12v rheostat into the vent to control the fan speed, I remember that you have done this. Could you let me known where you acquired yours and what are parameters of it, Cheers :vroom:

You have a better memory than me! I don't remember doing it! No it is still on the to do list. I will get a round tuit some time. I know that Arthurs have a few boxes full of various ones, but I need to check what they are. Otherwise Bindons or Jaycar etc.

You can buy a retrofit kit on American ebay.
I'm considering it myself.
You can also buy a silent fan upgrade but as mines the thermostatic controlled later model one I'd rather see how it gos providing the surgery to fix the speed/noise isn't a fan removal prospect

I will go to Jaycars/Bindons and see what they have, Arthurs is like fishing in the dark. :vroom:

Why did you build the swing outs with a slope?

Yahoo, nearly finished, just need to put some aluminum trim on and the rubber seals around Galley door, then tear-drop warming in a week or so with a BBQ.
