Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / September 2007Fridge Question
Hi I have 93 Wilderness travel trailer, the fridge works on 110 v or propane. We had a power outage the other day and my fridge tried to switch over to propane but the propane was turned off because I was going to be away for a couple of weeks. When the power came back on the fridge did not go back on electricity and all me food spoiled. I there a way to stop it trying to changr over to propane and just allow the fridge to come back on when the electricity come back on. (I dont like leaving the propane turned on for periods when I will be away) Thanks >Hi >I have 93 Wilderness travel trailer, the fridge works on 110 v or propane.

If it has an "Auto" switch then it's not the right one. It should have an "RV" switch.

Keeps it clean and the odors, mold & mildew down. Tom J >> Hi >> I have 93 Wilderness travel trailer, the fridge works on 110 v or [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Tom J Easy for you to say. You sound like a "normal" RVer who uses your RV from time to time. This is good. Actually I'd prefer it if they outlawed RVs completely because they are so destructive to the environment and burn way too much fossil fuel and contribute to global warming but since I can't have that (YET) then people who use their RVs a few weeks out of the year are the next best thing. But, try not to forget that some people in this group are 'full-timers' which means they live in their RVs all the time. Sort of itinerant trailer park trash blighting the campgrounds, highways and byways of this great country. I'm presently working with a Senator who is a personal friend and we plan to introduce a bill in the Senate to slap a huge "use" tax on RVs to attempt to cut down their use and to help assuage the detrimental effects they have on the environment. Shad O'Shay actually my sits full time on a campground as we are seasonals, we leave it all winter so burning of fossil fuels it at a minimum. > >> Hi > >> I have 93 Wilderness travel trailer, the fridge works on 110 v or [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Shad O'Shay >>> Hi >>> I have 93 Wilderness travel trailer, the fridge works on 110 v or [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Shad O'Shay Nonsense. Even a goodsized RV, say 12 x 40 is far smaller and far more energy-efficient for heating and AC than the standard 1500 square foot house. Which may also have a couple of cars in the driveway. People use RV's because they're less expensive, not more. And has your senator friend considered the overall effects on the economy if RV's are more heavily taxed? The US just dropped passport requirements for seniors because much of the southern US economy depends on snowbirds from Canada. : Nonsense.

John, you're wasting your time. You're trying to communicate with a troll. Most here probably have him kill filed, I know I do, so the only time we see his garbage is when some one replies to him.

You obviously have no clue. The "R" factor in any RV is <1/4 to, at best, 1/2 that of any modern home. In fact my last srick/brick had wall R-factors of 24, interior walls of 12 or 18 and roof of 36. Yes, it was custom. My neighbor had electric bills of $1200/mo and mine were tops of 300. And what do the 'couple of cars' have to do with home energy efficiency? >>Nonsense.

Your neighbour's house sounds a lot more 'standard' than yours. Which proves my point. You both must have electric heating. I have natural gas, about $2000- a year. Electricity usually less than $40- per month. >And what do the 'couple of cars' have to do with home energy >efficiency? Didn't say it did. OP complained about RV driving costs too. We were both all electric. Mine 3600 sq. ft. and his was 6k+. In Arizona, we rarely had heat on. No, mine was not standard, rather designed by one who knew it was cheaper to prevent than to accept shoddy. > >>Nonsense.

Reply to Shad, Typical answer for a L, more taxes and government regulation. >>> Hi >>> I have 93 Wilderness travel trailer, the fridge works on 110 v or [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Shad O'Shay >> Hi >> I have 93 Wilderness travel trailer, the fridge works on 110 v or [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Tom J Stuff it with newspapers if you are going to close the door. It keeps it fresh and the dampness that grows mold away. SignatureJanet Wilder Bad spelling. Bad punctuation Good Friends. Good Life >>> Hi >>> I have 93 Wilderness travel trailer, the fridge works on 110 v or [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > keeps > it fresh and the dampness that grows mold away. The doors stay open in ours when not in use, so it dries completely, without the newspaper to absorb moisture. Tom J > Hi > I have 93 Wilderness travel trailer, the fridge works on 110 v or propane. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks FYI, when you asked question like this, don't tell us what RV the appliance is mounted in but what make and model the appliance is. Many RV Co's and few appliance Co's. Hard to associate a particular brand and model appliance by only telling what RV it is in. Frank gave you good advise. If you want the frig to operate with one power source, don't use AUTO. It will switch over and if the alt power source isn't available, it will time out. Sorry for your loss and possibly lingering odor. Mickey |
