Subject:Re: Need Help with My Refigerator - 2002 EVC

OK,
 ( I just re -read the owners manual again ),   on the Noorcold unit in the 2002 EVC  it is temp controlled in Gas + 110 V mode..  12 V is full on..
That is what froze my food with the outside ambient temps being so low on the Daytona trip in March +  last night I had the temp controller Between # 2 and 3 , but with ambient at 30 my stuff froze again.. At least it's only 5-$10.00 worth of food, not hundreds of dollars..
This will be a learning process and as it gets hotter everything will change.  I just don't want sour MILK...

Hi all,
My EVC is sitting in the parking lot at work all packed and ready for a 650-700 mile trip starting @2:00 this afternoon..  This will be my second big road trip and my first time camping in the EVC.  I will be Rock Climbing in New River Gorge West Virginia, leaving central Ct today..

My Problem is for the second time I have run the refigerator it has frozen all my Vegies and Salad stuff..  It may be weather / outside temp related???

 This is what happened on my First road trip from Ct to Bike Week in Daytona Florida the first week of March, we left in a snow storm so it was cold out and my stuff froze.  Yesterday it was 80 degrees in Ct. but it dropped down to 30-35 last night.. I  pre ran the refig for a few hours after I got home from work, ( Pluged into the house 110 V )  it was getting cool so I piled all my food in it and went to Bed.. I checked it when I got to work because I turned the gas on ( for the 7 hours I plan to work today ) and More Frozen food..

What am I doing WRONG ????

I leave in two hours so I could use some speedy suggestions,,  Will I ever be able to keep salad and Veggies that are prone to frezze in this unit ????

Thanks,
Steve D
