[VAC] Re: Excess heat from fridge



         Reply to:   RE: [VAC] Excess heat from fridge
The cause of excessive heat around the refer case is the result of a 
lack of vertical airflow.

It's like a fireplace and a chimney - the taller the chimney, the better 
the air movement up the chimney.  In your Caravel, there should be a 
screen in the floor (intake) and the roof vent (exhaust).  The lower the 
intake and the higher the exhaust the better the velocity of the air 
movement and the cooler behind the cabinet will be.
