Question about refrigerator cooling during preparation for a trip. Does it cool faster when plugged into electric (in my driveway) or just leaving the propane on and cooling that way?
Thanks for any input.
The rv fridges that we have used over the years usually took about the same time to cool down to acceptable operating temps whether on ac or lp. The fins inside the fridge started to feel noticeably cool at 8-12 hrs and after 24 +- hrs, the freezer and fridge were at 0/mid 30's respectively.
Last spring(2015), we did replace our Dometic NDR1062 rv fridge with a Haier 10.2 cu ft residential as the cooling reliability became less than acceptable. We had the install checked for correct specs, installed the Amish exterior coils and finally crossed the line when they developed a leak after 18 months.
