Hi, I've just bought an old Hobby caravan (circa 1986) to use on a permanent site in Spain. I must admit that I know nothing about caravans as I'm a 100% canvas person, but this is another sort of holiday for me!
The van was first sold in Germany, so although I have all the manuals I can't undrstand them! My only problem so far is getting the fridge, an Electrolux RM 301, to work.
From my guess at the instructions the fridge seems to work either on 220v electricity, or by12v electricity or by gas. But I may have this wrong and the electricity is used to control the gas.
I've looked for user manuals on the Internet, but these all seem to be in Dutch, Norwegian, or back to German again!
Could anyone give me the briefest instruction abouyt how the frige should work, and I can start to sort it out? I'm have 220v hook-up, so that's what I'd be useing.
Many thanks
Simon aka Rafela

A big thank you Cliff and Dave!
Cliff, no joy on the search but worth knowing about. There was nothing at all in English but hundreds of manuals in German, none of them for my fridge. I had the bright idea of using a free on-line translator, www.tradukka.com/, (one of the best I know - and that's saying something as translating is part of my job!) to work back to English, cuttin and pasting from the .pdf file. Oh well, so much for bright ideas!
Dave, I think you get today's Plain English Award, albeit vicariously on behalf of the Wikipedia contribitor. What a brilliant explanation for someone like me, whose 'O' level science grades (circa 1973!) had to be seen to be believed (so too for my dad's apoplectic reaction to them!).
I always wondered how gas fridges work, and now I know! I also now know why I didn't hear the compressor running, see above!
So, to Debbie, Cliff, Dave and anyone else for that matter, should you be touring in the Catalan Pyrenees pop in to Camping Collegats for a cuppa - just ask at reception for Simón!
Cheers
Simon, aka Rafela
