We've used our fridge when the outside temps have been in the low 40s with no issues. I wouldn't worry about it.
Has anyone on this forum ever had personal experience with this happening?

^This is very pertinent. That box is hotter than hades at times when the fridge is running. Your aux fan flip on switch has a 105 degree sensor that it has to hit in there before your fans kick on. And plenty of us know there are times when those fans run. So yes, freezing cold outside it isn't going to get 105 in there, but it also isn't going to get to 15 in there by the time it heats up and you have heat from inside the pod keeping partial amounts of the fridge at warmer temps also.

I've NEVER heard of issues with "gelling". I just looked up the freeze point of ammonia and it is -108 F (-77 C). Anyone around here camp at -108 F? There is also some hydrogen gas, which doesn't freeze until you get close to absolute zero...
I just read through some user manuals on the Dometic web site. There is no mention of ambient air temperature restrictions - hot or cold. I'm calling BS on this, sorry.

I MIGHT ALSO NOTE>> The Linked text says 15 degrees.. Not 50.. big difference.
So my guess is.. it *can* happen.. so can being eaten by an alligator while walking your dog.. /QUOTE] We have had several dogs being eaten by alligators while walking here in Florida. (Sorry, I could not resist). |
