[C320-list] MKII Refrigerator Ventilation.

[Stephen Cox]

John,

Can't say that I have noticed the counter warming up but haven't really felt
it.  My Mk II has a vent behind the fridge in the rear cabin above the bed.
There is a fan somewhere associated with the fridge because every time the
compressor is on, warm air comes out that vent.
