    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West AcuRite 00986A2 Digital Refrigerator/Freezer Thermometer

    They work great, but if you use lithium battery's for the sensors inside the last much longer. Also, mine feel off the fridge and the magnets popped off and required super glue to get the magnets put back on. Same thing happened to my brothers set. But over all very nice to have.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ordering a Hawk 1-28-17 Do's Don'ts?

    With out knowing how many people will be camping at one time, I would want a front dinette if I was going to get a new Camper. I go with DrJ on the wtw camping a lot and he seems to have much more room in his grandby then I do with mine. Much better use of space and you get a lot more counter...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Absorption vs Compressor refrigerator

    I guess I will vote for the side of changing it out to the compressor fridges. They do work much better and I like the fact there is no flame going on full time when I'm using my camper. To me, I would rather change it out and know its fixed and working the way I want it then worry about it not...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Mr heater- burning the ceiling?

    Yes, only for a back up. On this week long camping trip every night was below freezing and on day two the furnace fan started making a loud high pitch noise. Still worked the rest of the trip but with my six year old in the camper with me, just wanted to make sure I always have a back up...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West From an Icebox to an Isotherm Cruise 85 Refrig

    I installed my dometic 65l with out cutting any holes in the outside of my grandby. It has venting along the bottom and I installed a vent fan right above the rear and standard home Hvac.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West If you had your 'druthers, what's the best choice for a 12V camper fridge?

    I have a dometic 65l I put in my grandby and I would only give it a passing grade. Seems to take a lot of power at 4.5 amps when on and seems to be on a lot. I have 240 watts of solar so It doesn't bother me enough to change it out. I have a portable indel 41 compressor cooler/fridge and I love...
