Dometic Refrigerator Parts

Forums: 

We think the Dometic 2.0 CRX65 refrigerator (only 1 year old) in my 2023 13 standard Scamp needs either a new thermistor or circuit board.  It runs occasionally then shuts off and so on and so on.  The compressor light turns orange, as does the service light.  It doesn't run long enough to keep anything cold.  I've watched videos on how to replace both of these parts but I cannot find any parts.  Dometic's website is no help.  Scamp doesn't know what's going on with it either.  Does anyone have an online source?  It is still u

Kitchen window stuck on 13' Scamp

Forums: 

The kitchen window on our 2022 13' Scamp has always been stiff and hard to open and close. While we were camping this past weekend it got stuck closed and will not budge. Any suggestions? I have tried cleaning it and lubricating the track with silicon. Helped a little, but not much. I would like to take it apart and see what is making it bind up. Are there any resources that show how to do that? Thanks in advance.

smelly cushions rehab

Forums: 

Our 2007 13' dinette/bed cushions have developed a moldy smell. The covers were replaced ~ five years ago, the age of the foam is unknown. Although there is no evidence of water contact, we find condensation on the table top in the morning. In other words, vapor is passing through from us to the table top below. We plan to clean the covers, but would appreciate information on how to do that - dry clean, tumble washing machine? Should we put down a vapor barrier sheet before making up the bed? Any advice will be welcome.

Winterizing and using a tankless water heater

Forums: 

Scamp now puts the Girard GSW-2 in all their trailers. Most if not all tankless systems are made so they swap out with standard tank heater sizes very easily. I found some dangerous misconceptions regarding tankless systems when it comes to winterizing. The Girard line comes with an antifreezing circuit that at 38° will keep the unit from freezing. This only works if the main power switch on the unit is ON, if the unit has LP gas, and if it has 12 volt DC power. It is made for camping and not for long term storage.
