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.
Orange, huh? I might just try that.
