So after watching the video what do you think of the Dometic tech removing the baffle in your trailer, Andi?Originally posted by Andi View PostForum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.

Still confused on that, Howard. It did seem to help our fridge stay cooler, but we only had the 2 days at the end of the rally to test it out. Leaving tomorrow for a 7 day trip so will see if there's an improvement or not. Sure wish we could get an official statement from Dometic on this.

Andi unfortunately, I am getting mixed answers. I do not want to state anything until we have cold hard facts. I am hopeful we will have a meeting with Dometic very soon. Then I can update!Comment

GDRV-EmilyGDRV-Megan; was there any resolution to the issue of the baffle with the Dometic?2018 Ford F-350 6.7L Lariat

Hi TZee. The answer is "yes", there's a resolution. I've heard first-hand from an exceptionally reliable source that the answer is to "remove the baffle". However, there's a few details that are unknown. I'm trying to get something in writing from Dometic (like a Service Bulletin) that specifically addresses the units affected and exactly how a side-vented unit should be installed since the current manual available online reflects the need for the baffle.Originally posted by TZee View Post
For anyone that may be reading this that has a Norcold--this does not apply to you. Norcold refrigerators require the baffle.
As soon as I get information Dometic I'll post it.Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself. Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, we have nothing to gain should you choose to purchase a product or engage a service we discuss on this forum.

Hi Andi howson GDRV-Megan GDRV-Emily after reviewing the great maintenance video above it looks like there's more than an inch of space between the fins and outside wall; notice the blocks between the baffle and the outside wall. From my understanding this means that their RV should have the baffle. However if the space between the fins and the outside wall is one inch or less then you should remove the baffle.
Did Dometic ever release a service bulletin or definitive information about the requirements for a baffle or no baffle?
Thank you,
