17 Ways to Combat Extreme Temps in Your RV

The rotating ice packs is a really good idea. We do not travel with much, if any, frozen goods so it is just wasted space for us. Hail science!

[@USS.Overlander]

We usually have a bag of "chicky" nuggies and a pint of ice cream and that's it 🙈

@@USS.Overlander but that’s an obvious necessity.

For my windows I used 3M window insulation. For my slide out roof I used 2" foam sheets cut to size. It dramatically reduced heat from the slide out roof..

[@USS.Overlander]

Adding insulation to slide out roofs is so smart! Thanks for sharing so anyone else who has a slide out gets that info!

Is it normal to turn off refrigerator while traveling?

[@USS.Overlander]

Yes! General advice is that running a fridge when it's not perfectly level can damage the coils/reduce efficiency/eventually burn out the unit faster, and a lot of people also like to turn their propane completely off while driving. Plenty of folks still drive with it on, but it's a measured risk - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpXXeXl6bc5mhqM (much more educated explanation than I can give) for more info!

@@USS.Overlander thank you i have never shut down the fridge in my moms camper and we had to replace it last year so probably my fault! Thanks

[@USS.Overlander]

oh no! RV Academy has tons of good information, or feel free to comment on any of my vids if you have questions I may be able to help with! Best of luck adventuring
