[VAC] Re: Dometic refrigerator door
Hi Bill,
I'm in Scottsburg, VA and quite a ways from Camping World in Manassas (200
miles). However, I do drop by when I visit my son in Ashburn or make doctor
appointments at the Springfield Kaiser facility. Didn't think about asking
them about a salvage door.
One reply had thoughts along the line of a door full of beer or soda cans
bouncing down the byways?
Seemed reasonable to me. The unit is still functioning as I took it out and
tested it on my driveway for a few days with LP and electric. The tubing on
the rear is badly rusted and I'm cleaning the rust and will give it a coat
of rustoleum. I guess I have to find some way to brush the rust from inside
the pipes. A small sand blast wand might do wonders. Then, with the
amount of rust, the pipes could fail at any moment. More than 30 years is
pretty good longevity. When I get to the final decision regarding
installation, I might replace it with a new unit.
Thanks for the reference,
Regards, Joy
