Ok, this is directed to our RVing experts who have a level of experience. Assuming you have an affected unit that does not show any signs of failure what is your feeling on using it until fixed under the recall? I've read what Dometic has put on their website "don't use the unit on gas and if you need to use electric turn it off at night" how realistic is that?
IMO, re: no gas - that's inconvenient, but not a show stopper; re: turn it off at night - no big deal.
As fulltimers, we keep our fridge and freezer packed with stuff. Once it gets cold, it stays cold unless you're opening and closing a lot. At night, when it's cold anyway, I see no problem with leaving the thing off. The same thing applies when driving, we don't need to run the reefer on gas or turn on the generator as we go down the road and everything keeps cold/frozen. We will turn on the generator if needed to microwave lunch, or to run the roof air in hot weather - which will also run the fridge, but we don't worry about it if the generator is off.
It's sort of like some folks want to keep the water heater on overnight and some turn it on in the morning.
I have yet to receive the "recall package" I ordered on their recall hot-line. Very poor response.
