    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Is you Refrigerator working?

    I found a neat way to check if your refrig is working. I use a remote thermometer made by Acu-rite I place the remote unit in the refrig to get the temp. I velcro the main unit to my dash. It gives me the temp in the truck and the temp in the refrig. my refrig gets to 38 degrees on AC I have not...
