Caravan fridge


Over the last many months we have had trouble with our Electrolux fridge not staying cool enough in the hot weather. Alas as we were free camping at Fort O Hare in Dartmoor and having our happy hour which lasted for hours we realised that our climate class was SN which stood for Sub normal. We should have a T =tropical fridge. There are four sorts, SN, N T ST.

At last our problem is solved so off to buy a new fridge for the right conditions.

Most new vans have T fridges so for the unaware watch that.

No more will we have to be looking at the digital thermometer.

You learn something every day, which is wonderful

 yours might work ok a bit further south(pole area)

seriously though it may make a good little beer fridge in your shed where it can get plenty of air.

I'd try what JC suggests first before going to the trouble of replacing it. We insulated ours and added the fans and it really does make it icy cold.

 The insulation is the main part, the fans do help.

Some people actually fit a fan inside the fridge to blow over the cooling fins and circulate the cool air.....this is in addition to the external fan(s).
