Technically, nothing. But I did buy her a gift

Renogy 100w RV kit with 30 amp charge controller. Plan is to add at least another 100w panel, maybe two. The ball has begun to roll.

Wired three small - 0.15A - fans for refrig cooling. Wired them so that they only come on when the refrig compressor turns on. One cooling the compressor, and one each on the right side and left side cooling coils. Should only be on ~20-30% of the time when refrig is cooling.

Len do you have a diagram on how you wired in the fans to the refrigerator?

Never take enough pics or document enough. Here is what I have. Your question made me go back.

My refrig is a "home made" setup and is a free standing unit vs the Norcold and other units specifically designed for RV's and boats.

By adding the fans I no longer have to worry about keeping 5" of side clearance for natural convection cooling. Figured air on conpressor couldn't hurt. Although I now notice that the refrigerant used is R600a and it is flammable. Hmmmm but others do it.!?!?! Hopefully the Chinese compressor is sealed as good as Danfloss...Other RV refrigerators put fans back there.

Once refrig is put back where it belongs none of this shows.

Finished Welding all the holes in the van floor. Not really a "Sportsmobile" yet, but it sure wants to be.

Thanks Len. Have them saved in my van documents

Got my black V10 back after RIP kit installation/transfer case fluid change! I doubt I will miss that squeeeeeky spring sound, and I LOVE the smooth ride!

I remain humble enough not to apply any Smarter Than Dirt decals just yet

Found out it is now officially 'modified' and as such needs a 'modified inspection' for my state registration. Small problem to have right?
