hi not very happy with 3way fridge i have only goes 20deg below on gas.

is there any reason not to use a small carvan fridge in a trailer tent i have spotted one that can run in42deg.

if you really want cooling look at australian fridges 60deg below ambient and one that runs on solar power

Which tropical country are you camping in?

20 degrees below ambient is more than enough in the UK for a fridge, it is not meant to freeze the contents.

hi bernie i did this test with fridge empty at home

when we were using the fridge camping do not know what temp was but it was hot and it would not go below 13deg inside to keep food it should be below 5deg

hi tentz thanks i am keen to be able to use gas we go on sites somtimes  with no ehu.will have to think about this more before jumping and buying something else.what i do not know is how hot it got inside the tent while out.

have to think about havng it out side  when hot with some kind of shelter.

the.fridge i saw was a dometic and ad said. The cooling unit is much better on the RM4210, it will now work in temperatures up to 42 degrees
you can see my thinking.if the gas part is improved as well it would cope with really hot days.no way of knowing if if it does with gas

We bought a table top fridge to take camping. Around £60 new and its a proper compressor fridge so works well in European Summer heat!

We no longer have the tent, but still take it with us with the caravan and keep it in the awning. Works far better than the caravan fridge does! And makes ice cubes for cooler drinks!

We had a problem with our 3-way fridge freezing the milk. You have two settings on gas, high to start it off, then you should turn it down to the lower setting, but hubby forgot to turn it down & we had to go to supermarket to buy milk before we could have our morning cuppa, because all the milk in the fridge had frozen solid.

Since then he always remembers to turn it down after a couple of hours on high. Couldn't fault ours at all, it really keeps milk & food fresh whether it's on gas or EHU.
