Richard suggested I try propane gas to chill the fridge, I wasn't happy to do this for a couple of reasons one being I could not find where you check the pilot light, also I did not know when the burners had last been cleaned, this would be another job to check out when we got home along with checking out the mains electric to the fridge.
I was not unduly worried about the fridge, I could get freezer blocks each day from the shop which would help keep milk butter and cheese cool, the main worry I had was meat I had put into fridge frozen, would it go off if the fridge warmed up a little.
The lesson with the fridge had taught me one thing and that was alternative foods like dried powdered milk, tins of meat etc.
I have managed before without a fridge in my last two motorhomes, I had purchased a cold box to keep milk cool, but I wasn't very happy with it.
The transit motorhome had nothing. I used powdered milk and tins of meat in that motorhome.
The cascade water heater runs on gas too, but I didn't think it worth running that as I could boil water in the kettle when on site hooked up to power, but when we are off the grid I shall probably heat water on the gas stove we shall see.
Another job I shall try at home to see if it does work on gas.
Sheila my partner had bought a new topper for the bed at home and wanted to throw the feather topper out, I grabbed it and it fitted my bed above the cab, I have slept very comfortable these last two nights so I am not complaining.
Today has been a mixed day weather wise sunshine and showers plus a thunderstorm too.
We used up the ground beef tonight in a Spaghetti Bolognese very tasty and very good. No after affects as of yet.
