[Barb & Bob Uhlman]

John,
Our MkII is like Stephen's, vent behind the frige that opens into the aft
berth.  Next weekend I will feel around the counter top.

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.
