Hi hope you don't moind me butting in!, I am new to this froum as wel as to camping in general, I have been given an Electrolux Fridge that the manual says is 12v or gas only, can anyoje advise me how to wire it up to work as a 12V, it does not have any wire or adapter fitted? Any helpa ppreciated! Cheers Jonathan
Hi Jonathan
If I were you I wouldn't even bother with the 12v side. I also have a 12v/gas electrolux that is really old. When on a journey, I use it as a coolbox - put in all frozen/fresh stuff and a few coolbox ice packs, then I light the gas when I'm pitched.
The 12v operation is only for when you're actually moving - in transit - you can't run it on 12v when stationary, it will flatten your car battery in about half an hour if you forget to switch it off! And you have to cool it down first (with ice packs) as it only keeps the temp it starts out with. It will only start to cool if you drive for approx 100 miles or more!

hi all
fridge problem again
i have a electrolux rm 212 f in my caravan
the problem is as follows
on mains the freezer is getting cold as expected
on gas the freezer is getting cold as expected
but the fridge compartment stays at ambient temperature
i do not use the car electric to power the fridge etc
so is there something that may need replacing ?
any help / info would be appreciated
thanks in advance tony
Could it be that you're just not giving it enough time to get cold? If the freezer part is inside the main body of the fridge, that part gets cold first then the rest of the fridge will cool after a while. It cools quicker on gas than on electric.
hello ther...i know this is an old old post...but pleeease Bumbles3, do you still ahve the manual for the elctrolux 212B??...and please if you do...could you forward it to me!?i would be so so grateful///new to this camper conversion thing and havent got a clue about the fridge and how to install it! Thanks, jo : )
We're in the same boat, just acquired an old caravan and haven't a clue how fridge, heater and water heater work. On the good side we have managed to get the cooker and oven working.
Fridge is an Electrolux 212B so would greatly appreciate a copy of a manual if anyone has one and water heater is a Carver Cascade Rapide again a manual would be great or any tips to getting it working.
