So we have just got back from our 1st trip out in our new (well new for us!) MH, a Laika ecovip. This was our longest trip to date. We went to France where we made our compulsory trip to Disney, before heading to Ile de Re, which was lovely, although very expensive.
A number of lessons learnt, and had a shock when MH came up as class 3 on the toll road from calais to Paris and had to pay just under 44E. That's the end of using toll roads!
Anyway, the freezer compartment of the fridge was great when on hook up and kept things properly frozen. When running on the engine the freezer defrosted, ruining the food we had in there. Tried on gas and the fridge temperature was warmer than running on engine.
So is this normal??? Basically on gas fridge was barely cool. When driving and running on engine fridge was cold, freezer was same as fridge. On EHU fridge very cold and freezer great.
Is the fridge knackered???
Also we have a couple of wind up roof vents at the rear of the van, which were put down prior to travelling. When driving these started flapping and clear daylight could be seen. There is no way to lock these down by the way.....Is this normal???
