Nor Cold 2 way??

Well I guess saying illegal was a bit exaggerated.. but it is prohibited when at gas stations, in tunnels, and such scenarios - plus, it’s just crazy for us to use it as we already paid for other options (dcdc charger and solar chargers) … hence now we only travel with it on propane as a last resort - and as little as possible… primarily because of the safety factor of driving around on the roadways with an open flame burning propane which will cost us twice to burn/waste additional money when we have to buy a new propane canister or have it refilled.

So I apologize for mis-speaking as to it being illegal, but it’s definitely less safe to do in various scenarios. ;)

We ended up swapping back and forth during the summer from 12v to propane to keep the food cold and as importantly, to save on the use of propane a bit.

(Plus propane has increased substantially here in the northeast so definitely want to use the 12v from the dc dc charger and solar as much as we can! Also, we don’t like running on propane as it’s not safe, legal or recommended.:h

For me personally, I'll 'precool' the fridge by having the camper plugged into shore power and using the AC option 1-2 days before leaving on a trip.

Then I'll transfer precooled items from my house fridge/freezer to the campers fridge/freezer. I'll usually SHUT OFF the campers fridge/freezer before pulling out of my driveway.

While I live in Oregon and travel mostly in Oregon/Washington and the temperatures generally don't get higher than the 90's, I've found that the campers fridge/freezer will keep my items just fine (no matter what time of the year it is) during the 1-4 hours it takes to reach where I'm going.

When I reach my destination and start setting up, the campers fridge/freezer will get turned back on set to AC (if available) and propane if AC is not available. I see/find no need for the 'DC' mode/setting at all.

Obviously YMMV,

Why do you turn it off when traveling?
