I've noticed on longer drives, in fairly hot sunny weather ( 30 degrees or so) that by the end of the day the freezer contents are still frozen, but ice cream is very soft, and the fridge contents aren't as cold as usual.
I know that 12v whilst driving isn't as effective for powering the fridge as 230v or gas is when you're parked up, but I thought the 12v setting would be enough to maintain the temperature.
What do others find? Just trying to guage if I need to start fault finding the 12v system. Fridge is on the automatic setting, and flicks over to 12 v as soon as the engine is started with no problem, according to the display at least. Similarly, when stopped, the fridge does as it's supposed to on the auto setting and switches off for 15 minutes then switches to gas.
