wow stern wake your system looks very efficient, nice design! I learned a lot from your posts, thanks The norcold design looks inferior to the VF design and VF is less expensive. no contest there. The truck fridge 49 is looking pretty good on a tight budget. Is there that large of a quality...

cdiggy, Thanks for the heads-up, it is unfortunate we have to deal with those issues, I'm glad we are cleaning things up, maybe one day we'll all be able to enjoy eating fish from the river. The snake river is upstream and is also part of the pikeminnow program, from what I've read and seen it...
