Fridge cooling fan mod

This is interesting to hear. I just sold our Jayco Swift SLX 184BH with the same set up as yours because the refrigerator would get above 40 degrees during days that the outside temperature would get over 80 degrees... Unfortunately, I tried for two years to find a solution to the fridge and A/C problems and had to sell it. I did not buy another Jayco this time, as they offered no help with these problems.

Yeah Jayco did not get involved until 7/1/2014. I have only owned Jaycos so I did go out and buy another Jayco, but I did not buy another SLX. In the end Jayco did try to right the wrong by giving us the option to trade like we did.

We considered a Jayco at first, but ended up going with a Gulfstream because their equivalent was about 10% less than the Jayco we were looking at. Now I'm kind of wishing I had gone with a Jayco, but Gulfstream has been accommodating with their manufacturing screw ups so far (put the wrong size tires on our model; warped kitchen table; did not finish plumbing the potable water tank drain line). Depending on how this fridge warranty work turns out, it may be the deciding factor on whether or not I pursue having the unit traded in for a payoff so that we can get a different one. I worry that Gulfstream may not be as accommodating, though, and I may have to resort to a lemon-law court case or something in order to get them to play ball.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that, though. Honestly, if they can get the fridge to work right - we'll keep the coach and be happy with it.
