Hi Folks,
Today I am going to check out all systems and clean the interior of my Roadtrek 190V. I will make a list of things I need to fix, finish projects, and fix a wiper blade that sis not work right last night.
Last spring I failed to check my awning and when I went to open it, the end piece brook. This year everything that moves will be shot with WD40 and/or Silicone spray.
I will make a list of all projects and tackle them one by one. I know that something is not right with my house battery. If it needs replacing, I hope to add another to create a dual system.
After much thought and *****ing by my wife, I have figured out how to handle the Fridge.
1. Before leaving, plug it in for 24 hours on house (110 volt) current after putting in food for the trip and water and freezer packs in the freezer compartment.
2. Carry a separate small cooler packed with frozen water bottles and food for a few days.
3. While traveling, leave Fridge on 12 Volt. Never open it when on twelve volt because the 12 volt will never go back down to the temperature it was at before opening the Fridge. If you do open it, move the battery packs and some of the frozen water bottles to the fridge section.
4. When stopping for the night at, say, Walmarts, shift to propane. Some people operate their RV's while the Fridge is on propane while driving on the road. I think it is much to dangerous so I won't do it.
If I stop at a camp ground, I will plug it back to the 110 volt.
Happy RVing.
