Problem: fridge breaks down
Solution: I keep a softsided cooler stashed in the closet; if something goes wrong with the fridge, I can just buy ice and keep on camping.
Problem: RV lights don't work
Solution: I have supplemented my RV lights with battery operated puck lights throughout the clipper; if the RV lights don't work, I just use the puck lights and keep on camping.
Problem: water pump won't work
Solution: I keep a couple empty plastic water pitchers in the RV; if the water pump stops working, I pull those out and use the campground water for all my needs and keep on camping.
Problem: water heater won't work
Solution: I have a stove top tea kettle that I can heat water in and keep on camping.
Problem: stove won't work
Solution: I have a small propane grill and always keep some 1lb propane bottles handy and I can keep on camping.
Basically, I don't let a malfunctioning/non-functioning appliance end my camping trip. Other stuff is just ignored.
