Keeping Things Cold on the Road
Interested to know how long things in refrigerator stay cold while traveling and if anything in the freezer thaws out if we're on, say, an 8 hour road day. Just bought a TT and haven't used it yet.

As far as I know, the propane detector will just scream if it smells propane. We run ours on propane while traveling. One tip not mentioned is to plug into shore power a few days ahead and let the fridge cool down by shore power. I like to let mine cool down a full day before storing any food in it. We usually shop and deliver those items directly to the RV, but I would never put cold goods directly from the store into a fridge that isn't already cooled down sufficiently. Also, I've found the the freezer stays frozen better when full as opposed to empty. These units work differently than household units. There's no fans to circulate the cold air, for one.
