im sorry, dumb question. newbie here... do you guys usually keep your beer/soda etc... in the fridge or in a cooler with ice for the weekenders? my camper is on a seasonal site and I keep the fridge on all week when im not there, but im wondering if its better/cheaper for me to put all the drinks back in an ice cooler for the weekend? mainly to prevent fridge being opened/closed a lot... or do you just keep drinks in the fridge at all times? everything usually fits in the fridge.. thanks and sorry once again...im learning new things as im growing here...

Fridge all the time. We only use a cooler for sightseeing day trips or making food purchases when we can't get back to the trailer in good time. Then again, we don't have a seasonal.

Depends... If I had kids, their drinks would be in a cooler. My BEER goes in the fridge.. When I take one, I replace one, so there is always a cold six-pack for me! :)Mitch

Both-keep 'em in the fridge to cool down. But when I'm spending a lot of time outside, they're on ice and much colder!

We have one of those prtable ice makers we keep outside, so I dump the ice in the cooler a few times a day to keep the beer cold.

IF it's just the 2 of us....fridge

IF it's a group.......large ice chest

Don't want group of folks traipsing in/out of RV all day long letting the cold air out and standing in front of the fridge with door open window shopping

That's what we do.

We spend more time outside than in so beer, wine and soda's in a cooler with ice. We have an portable ice maker in one of our curb side basement compartments so the cost of ice is - free.

If it's cold or wet outside and we decide to sit in then the cooler sits on our rubber entry mat.

I'm not saying you wouldn't find the odd beer in the fridge but generally if you drop by for a beer with us you should look in the cooler.

Fridge is for the food, we keep beer and water along with soft drinks in a cooler. We are outside most of the time so the cooler stays out also.

Everyone has 3 can drinks of their choice in the fridge. When you take one out you put another one in upside down so you will know that was the last one in. They are responsible for keeping their own drinks stocked.

I set the fridge to its highest setting (5) during the day and on 3 when going to bed.

This has worked well for us.

We have a 1.6 cu ft. Danby in the basement of our Jayco WhiteHawk. Used it to cool soda and beer for the first time a couple weeks ago. What a disappointment. Don't know if the fridge is a POS or if the coils can't dissipate heat efficiently because of the fridge location.

Check your temp setting on the back of the fridge. We have a White Hawk also, and I had mine freezing my beer when it was turned to its coldest setting.

Beer doesn't go well with a nice white wine and foie gras....:B
