Re: Should I repair the Fridge

Herb: yeah, same here. The ARB I was looking at (50 quart one) seemed like a better fridge but not a great fit physically; I'd have to get a smaller one than I'd wanted, it was going to be a fair...

No answer but funny you should post this - I was just wondering about this last week on our '06 E350. We were parked on a moderate slope at Montana de Oro, with nothing but cliff separating the SMB...
