Straight back to dealer, you shouldn't be getting water in the fridge vent no matter how bad the weather, vent must not be sealed/fitted properly

I have just taken delivery of my expanda, has anyone else notice the jumble of wires and joiners under the starboard side in the chassis? I thought it looked dodgy, I was going to heat Shrink them all.

I don't have any plate, I just look into the frame and they are there, I guess they're just 12v one would hope. I work I. The marine industry and these exposed goes against every thing I know

These wire were originally were "protected" by a piece of tinplate in front and bent under the rats nest of wires and connectors. A number of members have sorted out the problem in various ways. Here is my solution.
