14' Series First weekend away.

[Gregg]

hi everyone. We had our first weekend away in our new 14.44-4. Short trip up to Castlemaine Big 4.
We all had so much fun. Kids didn't want to come home. My daughter said " don't go to work dad. Let's go to another caravan park". Happy times. One quick question. What number do you all set your fridge to. We had ours on 6 and we had frozen eggs.

Good to hear the maiden trip went well @Gregg
On 240 our fridge gets set between 3 or 4 depending on time of the year. We use a wireless fridge thermometer to monitor the temp and adjust as required (Nothing worse than frozen lettuce either )

Normally 2-3 for me. Do yourself a favour and get yourself a digital thermometer to keep track of the temps. Great to hear you enjoyed yourself.

Normally 3-4 for me. It's easy to think a higher number will make things cool more quickly. Not the case. These fridges just need time to get down to temperature. You can't rush them!

Had frozen beer, 'not happy jan"

we normally have ours between 3-4
the thermometer that people are suggesting are either this one
which is good, but takes up room & has batteries in both units



or
this one

which you can fit into your fridge surround, so its a nice neat finish - like below

Got the companion one @bigcol shared.... The colours matched the van
But does work well!

But does work well!

my sender kept going out of "sync" with the receiver

hence why I fitted the little one into the fridge itself

If mine starts doing that......

hence why I fitted the little one into the fridge itself

I will do the same!!

Fridge setting depends a lot on prevailing conditions. Often set it on high to get it cool then turn to 3 ish to keep it cool. Up north when in hot conditions had to turn to high 6? all the time.
Also gas more efficient than 240V so tend to keep on lower setting.
Best thing I did was get one of those companion fridge temp monitors that has a sensor in the fridge and a dig display that I hang just above the seats. Adjust settings accordingly.

glad the first trip went well, here's to many more in the future. Always the sign of a great trip when the family doesn't want to go home.
