Hello all
I have just purchased my first vw camper van (t25) :D
the existing fridge needs replacing, it is an Electrolux rm212 f.
Does anybody know of a good replacement I can use??
Thanks for any help you can give.

Fix the existing fridge - there is very little that cannot be repaired on it.
What is wrong with it?

Hi
There is a really strong petrol like smell inside the fridge, and after
several cleans and hours of airing, it dosent seem to be getting any better :cry:

That is usually ammonia type of smell due to having been left shut for long periods.(Worse if you have kept skate in the fridge :lol: ) Washing with bicarbonate of soda may help. People have used a cut lemon, charcoal, etc..
There is no connection with petrol on a fridge. :)

And then leave the fridge door open for a week to assist the smell to dissipate.
