    Propane fridge repair?

    I found they don't work well at high altitude. The mfg said plug into AC when above 5000 feet. Also high temp reduces cooling as well so I bought a small compressor refig to keep important stuff in in the summer.

    Alternative to Showering

    Evaporative Coolers

    I installed a TuboCool last spring in a 27' trailer. It will not cool the whole trailer but makes the sleeping area nice. Good enough for me. It has low battery draw, easy to care for.
