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.
Forum Discussion
Please let me know what makes it ok, in your mind, to run a fridge on gas in a motorhome, but not in a TT or 5'er.

Running your frig while traveling is a personal choice,not a necessity!You don't have to run your frig just to be like the cool kids.I don't run mine in trailers or fifth wheels but have in motorhomes...My choice for my reasons.
It's just to easy to shut down the propane completely while traveling by using ice bottles in the refrigerator for long trips.With a pre-cooled refer your beer will be cold 8 hours later.
Have I heard of fires from running the frig,Yes, but it was all here say from snow birds..Have I seen RV,s burnt to the ground on the road,yes but reason unknown at the time.
So I choose not too,which is my choice and it presents no problems at all in keeping the cold items cold.I come from the ice box days of RV refrigerators and I never have to worry about being level fro long lunches or hunting/fishing adventures.
