I have been thinking about storing my trailer near where i usually camp to save me from pulling it up the mountains. I am thinking i will not have my fridge to use if i do this as it will take too long to cool off so i will be back to using coolers.
OK, so I've re-read your post once again and have to wonder - if you're not storing your trailer at the house and instead picking it up along the way to where you're camping would you not already have to use coolers anyway to get your cold food from the house to the trailer? Assuming so, wouldn't you just then leave that food in the coolers, fire up the fridge when you first get to the trailer and let it run while you're completing your trip, then later transfer the food from the coolers to the fridge once it's sufficiently cooled? Maybe I'm missing something here? :h
Yes, i would have coolers with the cold food. I was thinking it was going to take half a day to cool but that appears too long? I will see the next time I plug it in. I am not sure how much propane is used to initially cool the fridge either, and if it's worth it? I figured half a day to cool fridge then i would need to load up on ice for the cooler and if I'm doing that then i might as well use the coolers.
