I'm in the same boat: Broken Dometic in a 1991 Itasca Spirit. It must be something going around.....
But here's what I'm thinking: An Ice box!
First off, I'm poor right now. Secondly, we don't go on extended camping trips - just weekend jaunts to regional KOA's and what not. Lastly, our fridge carries wine, steaks, eggs, Juice and salad fixings - all of which are fairly forgiving, temperature-wise.
Prior to becoming an Toyota owner, we had a 1950's-era trailer, and it had an ice box, and we never had a problem. But those old units were workhorses (and probably asbestos and lead-lined or something dreadful like that) Has anyone had any experience with the new ice boxes?
Thanks!
