Well, I haven't left Hell's Canyon yet, and it's still hot. But the good news is that the fridge is holding up. The high temperature today and yesterday was around 100F. My fridge has stayed in...

The indentation in the freezer door might be there for a reason. Maybe it's to help air circulation around the shelf in the freezer. My freezer has always worked fine, so I don't feel the need to...

I took my trailer down to the local Camping World two weeks ago to have its RMD8555 fridge checked out, as it got too warm when I was on the long trip I completed last month. The first week it was...

I switched to battery power when traveling in August partly to test my new solar power configuration (now at 355W) and partly just to experiment. Note, however, that even with seven days straight on...

Here are my numbers for August. I stopped before the end of the month because I'm having other problems, e.g. stuck freezer door. I haven't checked the fans yet, either. Getting settled in at home.

Currently (3:37 p.m. LT) at my location it is 91 degrees outside. I shut everything down so I could hear, then tried to hear the fan. I couldn't hear anything from either inside the trailer or with...

I occasionally hear a faint noise, but I can't tell what it is. Right now the fridge is on 120V and I heard a noise, but I guess it's the water heater. It's not hot outside yet, so it shouldn't be...

Yeah, it appears to be closed when really it isn't latched. That's what had me fooled.

Yes. The photo on the left shows the U-shaped piece extended. When in this position the door will pull open a bit. I managed to get that part retracted into the rest of the mechanism, and it seems...

Then that's it-- the freezer was in "storage mode", which is why I could pull the door open a bit. Right now I still have to depress the latch on either door to get it to open, which is what I want....

Okay, I found the problem-- the latch is a bit too tight, not too loose, and I wasn't shutting the freezer door forcefully enough, thus allowing it to come open. As long as I remember to give it an...

I started a spreadsheet of temperatures but ran into a problem. After a couple of days of poor performance on propane I set the new fridge back to 120V electric. Then I left the trailer in Mt....

I don't know. I was told that the new fridge has its own fan, but I can't tell if it comes on or not. Should I be able to hear it?

Yes, that's what I was thinking. Today the fridge ran fine on propane until the afternoon sun hit that side of the trailer, then its temperature went up past 40. I guess when I'm boondocking I...
