What did you do to your Class C MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch in other forums, so I thought I'd start one here.

Pianotuna,
This could get complicated.
There are all kinds of variables, outside temp, inside (the RV) temp, if there is an external fan on the coils, or an inside fan in the refer.
If you are just using ice packs, then they would start out strong and continue to loose cooling capacity as time progresses.
Just running the refer would not cool as fast, but would cool down more in the long run.
Of course to be comparable, all tests would have to be run when both the outside temp and the RV inside temps are similar (not to each other, but for each test).
It is pretty easy to predict that using both ice packs and running the refer will cool it down the fastest. Faster still with both inside and outside refer fans.
Oh, a remote thermometer would be nice so you don't need to open the refer to read the temp.
Let us know your test results.
