Make sure you leave it slightly open when it is turned off. As long as you have cleaned off any mould spots, just give it a wipe out with an anti-bacterial cleaner and let it dry before you pack it again.

If it is the one I had in my Cardinal, there is no drain plug for the water to drain away when defrosting so you need to make sure it is dry before you pack away for any length of time. I used to put an old towel in the bottom
while it was defrosting to soak up the water.

I hope you have as many good holidays in yours as we did in ours. We had two over the years and only changed to a caravan when old age finally caught up with us!

Most fridges have some form of clip to secure the door slightly open

I have the same question - did you find an answer?

-------------
We know there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know - these are the difficult ones...
