Refrigerators in the heat
We are camping in extreme heat in Arizona. Is it better to use LP gas or electric to keep the refrigeration cold?

Make sure you crimp or plug the drain tube. I found it makes a big difference.
Could you expand on this idea please? Are you saying plugging up the drain tube underneath the motorhome where it normally drips can HELP it cool better?
If so, I am going to give it a try. Thanks.
Don't plug it up. Just make a P Trap on the drain line You may have to extend it to do a P trap. Once you make the P trap pour some water in the refer inside evaporator drain pan under the fins to put a water barrier in the P trap. This will keep outside air from coming up into the refer. From the Factory(refer maker), they have enough drain line to do the P trap, but the RV makers never make the P trap. Norcold refers do not need a P trap as they have a check valve on the end of the drain line. Doug
Great information! Thank you!!!!!
