[C320-list] FW: Re: Reefer Blanket

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

Another option is one of those auto windshield reflectors. I got one that's sort of like 1/4" bubble wrap but metalized on both sides. Available at discount and auto stores. Trimmed to fit easily. Stiff enough to maintain shape and seal. Used the leftover to insulate the engine compartment wall adjacent to the reefer. Still have enough left to do the 2 cabintop opening hatches when I get around to it.

PS. Without the label "Marine", "Boat" or "Yacht", I can actually afford it!!

Subject: Re: [C320-list] Reefer Blanket



On Orlando's advice, I bought a blanket for the reefer around three years<br>ago and found that it works just great.  The blanket sits inside the reefer,<br>just below the lid bottoms and just fits inside the opening.  <br><br>I just happened to come across the info a few days ago in my desk, so here<br>it is:<br><br>Standout Yacht Fittings<br>6826 Cliff Ave., KPS<br>Longbranch, WA 98351<br>800-622-1877<br>Fax: 253-884-2253<br><br>I ordered it three years ago, so I can't vouch that the company is still in<br>business, but it's a toll-free phone call to find out.  I ordered mine a<br>little longer than the reefer opening.  The extra length provides a<br>convenient tab to pull on when you want to get into the reefer.  I believe<br>the blanket I ordered is 13 x 38 1/2 inches - I recommend measuring the<br>opening on your reefer before you order.<br><br>Ray Durand, #822 <br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From:
