[A/S] Re: [A/S 2000/2001 Dometic Refrigerator Problems



I'm with Hunter, I don't like to leave the gas on when I'm towing.  I start 
out with the refrigerator fully cooled.  If I don't open it until I get 
plugged in again, it keeps everything cool.  On a longer trip, when I will 
want to get into it along the way, or in warmer weather, I put frozen blue 
ice packs (available at RiteAid or WalMart in the camping section)  amongst 
the food.  Works great.  Sometimes I put "travel food" in a small ice chest 
in the truck, to avoid having to open the refrigerator until arrival.

Here's a tip:  keeping the freezer compartment FULL of frozen-something (like 
a bag of ice from the market) will help to keep the whole unit cold during 
travel.
