Please can someone help. We've bought our first camper and it came with an Electrolux 212 3 way fridge. The van is a 1984 Transit MK2 and I think the fridge is original. We're currently on holiday 100kms west of Toulouse in south western France and is can't cope.
The ambient temperature is about 35degs, we can make ice but the fridge won't cool below 15-20 degrees!!! Whilst this figure is when using gas 240v is better and 12v worse. Is this normal for this type of fridge?
I don't want to replace it unless there is a problem, however, if I do what's the best type to replace with? I like the idea of gas as we can use it when stopped away from a site. I've seen 12V/24V compressor fridges but these would drain the batteries.
Any advice gratefully received.
