Hi All,

Over the weekend I ran into another Jayco owner who told me I should check the external air vent for my fridge. After taking the plastic cover off I found to my surprise there is a metal sheet that is blocking 2/3rds of the air vent and sending the hot air upwards instead of out the vent (same as the other owner). As it is only a new van and used a handful of times I did notice how warm the bench above the fridge was getting but thought that might have been normal.

I've got a Dove outback, has anyone else seen this problem? The trailer is under warranty so I will get in contact with Jayco but could be a serious safety hazard if left unchecked.

Cheers,
WN

G'day Will and welcome to the forums.
I have a Jayco Swift. I call her Swifty. Had her now for 3 years I think, maybe four.
Anyway, I haven’t encountered your problem. Having said that, I will check it out tomorrow. Swifty is well out of guarantee. Not that matters coz I voided the guarantee ages ago.
