Re: Stus-List Refrigeration insulation upgrade C?
The fibreglass outer shell on the icebox of my C is not moulded as part of the liner, but appears to be held down with screws in the same manner as the bench seating in the cabin. Has anyone attempted to take this apart? Were you successful? What was involved in getting the top off? If this is doable without causing major destruction it would be the most effective way to improve the insulation.

Re: Stus-List Refrigeration insulation upgrade?
The most important place to start is the underside of the icebox top, it's just raw plywood. The opening lid has some light foam inside the fiberglass. The outside of the icebox has a couple of inches of urethane foamed in place. Our freezer unit is right under the removable lid, I made a "cap" for it from 1" foam insulation, it keeps the freezer much colder. We additionally keep some heavy industrial bubble wrap on the top of the whole compartment, that helps hugely.

Re: Stus-List Refrigeration insulation upgrade?
I very carefully drilled holes in all the walls and then very carefully sprayed foam inside the holes in measured amounts so as to not over expand and cause stress to the refrigerator walls which can break with the expanding foam pressures. Best could do. No data as to improvements but I imagine it made a difference >From my Android From: CnC-List on behalf of Allan Hester via CnC-List Sent: Friday, November 23, 2018 11:54:59 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Allan Hester Subject: Stus-List Refrigeration insulation upgrade? Hi, As one of my many winter projects, I am considering upgrading the insulation for the refrigeration unit on my 1989 C 35 Mk3. The unit currently has a Nova Cool which works well and produces ice. My goal is to improve the insulation and hopefully reduce the energy required to keep the fridge cold. Does anyone know what type of insulation [if any] is behind the fiberglass walls? Is there any insulation inside the lid? Ideas on how to upgrade the insulation or perhaps C did a good job at the factory and there is no need to touch it?
