I love this place.  RV Fridge should be close to final temp in 3-4 hours max 6.

Thanks Mark for this little gem!  Teresa was going to have me print it off.  I told her, "Woman, that's why I put a computer in the RV; so you could play your games and I could store things."  She says, "We have a computer in the RV?"  I said, "Yes, it's been there for over 6 months.  I know it has clothes over it whilst we are cleaning but, its there..."  I have  it plugged into the shore line now.  How long before I should know if a fridge is goosed or not, Mark?
