New RVTEC Interior....fridge flu problem

Post by Sunnyside »

Hi all,
just bought an RVTEC New interior. My original fridge will now sit in a slightly different position. I will now have a hole in the side of the van which is no use and I wont have a flu hole for the new position.
Question:
Is it possible to get flexi flue. It has to move forward by about 12 inches as the fridge used to sit in the middle of the units now it sits right behind the driver?? :?: :?:

In electrical section? :roll:
Maybe a flexible vent flue I know Gunzl does them for Westfalias, search for part number 255070518A on http://www.vwbusshop.de/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

the propex heaters run on a stainless flexi so i imagine a fridge flue should be fine.

You cannot extend a fridge flue more than the manufacturers specifications as it will be dangerous due to not extracting the fumes correctly. Check the specification in the manual for your model.

thanks guys,
I havent been on line for a few days, my 73 Westi is giving me a real headache. Been working on her till past 10pm most nights in the workshop. Just done 144 hours on her in the last 2 weeks :shock:
I dont want to bore another hole in the side of the van, it already had one for the heater and one for the fridge. It will resemble a colander if I put any more holes in her. but....if that's what I have to do :roll: :roll: then so be it.
Arghh..... :run
