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...

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...:h

We have an electric cooler. Reverse the plug and it heats. We often take it with us and leave it outside the camper for drinks, but not always. It just depends what kind of camping we are doing if we take it or not.

Fridge. Ice costs money and I don't drink that much beer so it fits in my fridge nicely.

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
Is it time for your medication or mine?

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!

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.
