The more I read, the more I'm convincing myself that i dont' need a
refrigerator on my boat.

for my purposes, it would be a draw in weight, finances and energy.
A well insulated cooler and a couple of bags of ice available at any
port or marina would be a better benefit. and I'll drop back to one 8-
D and one automotive battery and go back with a smaller and lower
powered alternator for better efficiency due to less drag and flywheel
effect. still gotta have the microwave and coffee maker, though.

I'll get it figured out

Whoops - hit the wrong button on last post.

We use the camper refrigerator a lot, but I believe we could easily survive
without it. Peanut butter doesn't need refrigeration, nor does bread. What more
could one want?

Grape jelly?


Jelly doesn't do well without a fridge. Gets runny. But orange marmalade, on the
other hand, was specifically designed to be eaten with peanut butter, and it
doesn't require refrigeration.

I thought you, of all people, would know that.



Must be great fun to travel with you...peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches. Wowser.


Funny, I didn't see where he said that's all he ate when traveling, can
