While coping in Chincoteague VA. On the 2 nd night the door light alarm on the refrigerator kept going off on it cycle
At 0230 in the morning. The quick fix was to unplug the the power cord to the back of the inside light. Will get it fixed when we return home under warranty. Just an FYI if anyone else has the same thing happen ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

My fridge door was slightly warped and caused the beeping. Does it beep if you latch the door? ------------- Cliff & Raelynn Ranger 4.0/178 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) |

We've encountered a problem where the refrigerator will start beeping mysteriously. It turns out that you just need to push the door in tightly or else it senses the door isn't closed and starts beeping. ------------- "Not all those who wander are lost."

Yep, same thing here, that is what mine was doing and I discovered the door was slightly warped b/c the plastic bins inside were mis-arranged and pushing on the door, sitting like that for months on the sales lot with the door latched. Dometric is sending me a new door. Try latching the fridge (travel mode)...if it stops, it's probably warped and won't seal properly in camp mode, that is...without the latch. ------------- Cliff & Raelynn Ranger 4.0/178 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) |

Camp mode? Travel mode? I guess I've missed something. How do you put the fridge in travel vs camp mode?  ------------- John & Teri Tundra 5.7L V8 / RP 180 E2 WDH / Integrated controller (POS) replaced by Tekonsha P3 |

As they say...a picture is worth a thousand words... Without the latch in play (camp mode) the door works like a home Fridge, you don't have to push the latch button to open, just pull the door open like at home. Saves wear and tear on you latch and prevents accidental pulls on the door when the latch is engaged...easier to open.  ------------- Cliff & Raelynn Ranger 4.0/178 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) |

Yeah we re adjusted the door for 2 hours. Then pulled the light connection and all was silent 😃 ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

Will it beep with the light connected AND the fridge latched? ------------- Cliff & Raelynn Ranger 4.0/178 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) |

Thanks! I hadn't noticed that difference before. Turns out ours has always been in travel mode. What is it they say? .. When in doubt, read the instructions? What a concept! ------------- John & Teri Tundra 5.7L V8 / RP 180 E2 WDH / Integrated controller (POS) replaced by Tekonsha P3 |

Then there is also between-camp (or winterization) mode. The catch - the part mounted on the wall inside - will slide forward to keep the fridge open a crack to prevent odors and mold. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

I leave mine in travel mode- operating the latch doesn't bother me....I know if I used camp mode someday I would drive off forgetting to return it to travel mode...guess what happens on a hard left turn with no latch ------------- 2014 179 Towed by a 2015 Ford Transit Diesel Supervised by a German/Aussie mix and a Labradoodle! |

Interesting...I see that tab you that you point out, however, mine won't slide out. Is there a trick, catch, or latch that I am not activating? I would like to use this option when the POD is in storage. Thanks!

Try pressing the little tab IN and then attempt to slide it. ------------- John & Teri Tundra 5.7L V8 / RP 180 E2 WDH / Integrated controller (POS) replaced by Tekonsha P3 |

On mine there is a gray tab which you slide forward. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

">Try pressing the little tab IN and then attempt to slide it."
Success! You have to push on the tab before it will slide! Wow...I almost broke it trying everything else. It pushes on the tab and then it slides...LOL! I like it...Fridge Storage Mode!!! Thanks guys...  ------------- Cliff & Raelynn Ranger 4.0/178 (1/2 ton 5,800lb tow capacity) |
