Dometic RM2310 to 2354 in RT 170 1997

So how are the temps reading now that you've given it time to cool?

I have a 1997 PleasureWay on the Dodge chassis as well as the same RM2310 that you have.

FANS: I put 2 140mm 12volt computer fans in the upper vent That size chosen because of matching them to the size of my vent. They blow out and the idea is to pull in outside air from the bottom vent and pass it by the coils in the back and out the top. I also made a small baffle out of a piece of foil backed styrofoam that is held on to the inside of the van side to help force that air past the coils.

THERMOSTAT: I replaced mine and it is a job to do. You have to pull the fridge out of the van so you can work on the back and bottom, removing things that are in the way. It's stuffed in there and you can't access it from the front at all. BTW my old and new thermostat go: OFF-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-MAX. Don't know why MAX and OFF are next to each other on yours.

And (I forgot):

CONDITION: I believe that when the absorption process is run it will slowly
accumulate solids in the tubes under normal conditions. The Amish run this
type of fridge in their homes and eventually need to replace the coils. And in these cases I would guess that they have always been leveled. No question that running it off-level accelerates the process, however. Remember that our RM2310s were installed in our RVs 27 years ago. That's a pretty long life.
