Inspection this weekend turned up no sign of ventilation like you guys have.
Suggest owners of MK II's check theirs also, especially if before hull
#1118.
If anybody can send a picture (john at frostnet.net), I will try to duplicate
what you have in mine.
Hopefully something a nice drill bit can do.

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.
