Refrig note working
Can I use Dry Ice or Ice in the freezer compartment to get me by for the next couple of days? Thanks for your input.

Interesting. When we got our first coach, we couldn't get the fridge going. Got Dry Ice and put it in one of the "crispers" in the Fridge section. Didn't put anything in the Freezer (separate compartment, two-door fridge). Just went with fridge stuff and called it good.
What I'm getting out of the above is that Ice/Dry Ice in Freezer compartment would transfer cold to the Fridge compartment and the whole thing would "work" at least to a degree. Is that right?
To OP: Yes! Ice/Dry Ice will serve you very well. RV fridge is 1. Ice Chest, 2. Absorption Cooling Unit, 3. Heater and Controls. It's a pretty good ice chest if the doors fit well and you cut down on what I call "shopping" in the fridge. Know where you put your stuff, open it up, get your stuff and close it promptly and firmly.
We've done a lot of "car camping" and found that a BLOCK of ice will outlast a bag of cubes/chips by a factor of many to one. In the West, and Canada as I recall, Block was available over half the time. Here in the South, I think it might be a hunt.
