2016 Bighorn 3270 fridge mold

[nnicole209]

Hello. My husband and I bought a 2016 Bighorn 3270 about a year ago. It is our first trailer ever, so we are def still learning.

When we close up our rv after a trip I am unable to leave the fridge open to prevent mold, as the layout does not allow for this. What do others do to prevent mold?

And please, if this question has already been answered, point me towards the post.

Hi nnicole209,

We've got a 4 door Dometic unit. I just leave the right-hand doors slightly open - resting against the latch mechanism. It's just enough to allow a bit of air circulation.

Clean it with a mild bleach solution and let it dry out. Keep one door cracked open and I keep the freezer doors open when stored.

I have a 3270 and with the slides in I can still open the right side fridge door and freezer door and prop them open with a towel. When I greeting ready to pull it out of storage I pulled the towels out and shut the doors lock.
If you don't have the standard fridge and have the residential type and it's not 4 door then you might have a problem.

Good evening, have a question here. Does the bathroom grey tank have an overflow tube?

No the grey tanks do not have an overflow tube,if you fill them on much it will back up into your sinks,shower and fill your vent pipes going up and out of the roof.

sinks,shower and out of the roof. Seems the sinks and shower would floor the trailer before anything made it to the roof? Chris

I agree,it should come out the sinks and shower before it came out of the roof vent...BUT they way these things are being thrown together at the factory ,,nothing would surprise me on the snake job of plumbing that is in these units. You don’t need to know much about plumbing to beat the installers at the factory.

I have emptied and left my 4 door refrig freezer in storage by rolling up a kitchen towel, inserting the ends into the refrig and freezer enclosures, then securing the doors together with mini-bungee cords to set up secured, slightly open to air, refrig doors. I keep Lysol spray on hand if I feel the need to clean the inside surfaces before/after storage.

BTW, the mini-bungees are great to have around for securing cabinet doors for road travel.
