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.


Well, jelly doesn't' have to be runny that is if you buy it in those
little plastic squeeze jars, Besides that way you don't glop too much
out on the bread then try to squishing it in only to have it ooze over
the sides and onto the side of your palm then drop on the boat
carpet.

See. i think I know what I'm talking about....
