[C320-list] air condition

[jsheets at aol.com]

We also have a Cruisair installed this year in the large port locker. We have vents running to the main cabin, aft berth and v berth. Works fine. Summer at the bay is much more enjoyable now. 
Allen, do you have any quick tips on winterization of the unit?
