Hello,
I am just starting out with my first RV. An 85 fifth wheel. I seem to have a refrigerator problem and I would like to exlore any cheap tips and ideas since I cannot afford to replace the unit. The friend we bought it from swears that the fridge worked fine. We tried it several times and it would get cool and a bit of frost in the freezer, but not near cold enough to store food. Then one day right before a trip, I turned it on and freezer was -3 and Fridge was 29. I was so excited, then during out outing we could never get it very cold again. It seemed to get cooler with gas then electric. I do not hear any Loud gurgling, see or smell any leaks and the fact that it got cold enough once means that it is not crystalized, right? Is there anything inexpensive that I can try? Is there any truth to the idea of removing the unit and turning it upside down overnight? I would appreciate any helpful ideas you all might have. My aching back is tired of ice chests! ;-)
