We have been full-timers for one year and love it.
We have a 3670RL Big Horn and love it.
We have been in Arizona and Nevada for a couple of months now and are having problems with the hot water tank and the fridge. Wondering if they are hot-weather related.
My hubby and I are from Oregon and have never had to deal with hot weather. I mean temperatures of up to 114 degrees. I love hot weather, but this has been insane.
We are having trouble with:
the hot water tank: It works with electricity, but all of a sudden does not work with gas. And still doesn't.
the fridge: is a 4-door Dometic, 8 cubic feet, has settings from 1 thru 5 with 5 being the coldest.
When the weather here in Las Vegas was running between 100 and 114 every day for a week, the fridge was having trouble staying cool enough.
It seemed that the freezer was doing pretty good.
However, the fridge temperature was slowly moving up to peak at 55 degrees. Way too warm.
Hubby opened up the outside door to the fridge and that eventually helped the temp. to go down.
Finally, a couple of days ago, the outside temperature went down to the mid 80's and the fridge is working fine. Showing temps in the high 30's and 40.
Question: Is this normal? when the outside temp gets that hot, to have to take off the outside door to the fridge to help cool it off.
Would love to hear comments from you all. You have helped so much in the past.
Thanks, Cheri
