Refrigerator Tip

This may be old news, but hopefully it will help someone else. I recently learned the proper way to route your refrigerator drain tube out the vent cover of your rig. Run the tube down and then back up and form a P-trap configuration like a sink drain. Don't have it pointing straight down and sticking out of the lower vent holes on your cover. I did that yesterday and this morning our refrigerator was at 29 degrees. Improper routing can raise refrigerator temps by 9 degrees.

    What refer temps were you experiencing before you rerouted the drain hose? Just curious because I have my drain hose in the lower vent hole with no P trap in it and I am always suspicious of the temps in the refer.


    We were doing okay, but they would vary mid 30's to lower 40's.
