Anyone have any comments on the life expectancy of a mini fridge? Loaded question, right? The one we have/came with camper is giving up. It's a few weeks past the warranty (of course). My thought is that these are not designed for the rigors of towing (especially on SC highways!
), rather for home use under a counter or in a garage/workshop. Ours is cooling but only down to the 50's. We use it keep drinks in and to pre-cool warm drinks and such before placing them in the inside dometic fridge.
Once we got to the site and set up I turned on the fridge, put in a few soft drinks and called it a night. Next day (24 hrs later), went to grab a drink and it's cool at best, not cold.
Had thoughts of pulling that fridge out and putting in a sliding tray that can hold the weight of a medium sized cooler with ice. Side in, slide out. Simple. No more failing mechanical fridge to worry about.
