IF they arrive I will never travel with anything on the shelves. Its not worth risking them breaking again, great design Dometic! Our collections by our couriers are happening as usual. As it stands, delivery times are not being affected too much. Please be aware though that Royal Mail and other couriers are sometimes prioritising essential items so please bear with us if your delivery takes slightly longer than expected. Having the fridge fuller or more empty makes no difference. It is not useable even on relatively cool days. Goodness knows what it will be like on sunny hot days?
Enjoy your caravan awning for many yearsDometic awnings come in a wide range of styles and sizes. From small shelters that extend a few feet from the door, through to large tent-like structures that nearly double your living space. There are several rust removers (as opposed to rust converters) that I have used over the years restoring classic cars that are very good. One is a product made by Bilt Hamber called "De-Ox". You mix it with water and leave the parts to soak and it removes all traces of corrosion leaving them sand-blast clean. Hammerite do a similar product but I found that it needed soaking for longer. Once cleaned the rusted areas will be susceptible to future corrosion and will need protecting so a few coats of clear lacquer will re-protect everything.
Cooling on gas instead of mains makes no difference to rate of cooling or maintenance of temperatures. Well, after e mails to Dometic uk and Bailey I seem to be getting somewhere. I have had replies from both in a day. Additionally, if your caravan awning uses guy-wires for stability, they can sometimes pose a tripping hazard. Make the lines more visible by hanging coloured ribbon from them to help avoid painful falls. You can also poke holes in tennis balls and place them over the ground pegs - this will make them stand out and will add some padding in case somebody does fall on one. A +1 for De-Ox powder and Gell from me for my old motorbike and other rusty stuff, however I also use Citric Acid ( the base ingredient of De-Ox ) and cheaper, it just takes a bit longer, it's none toxic and can be tipped down a drain.
On a crowded holiday park, you sometimes get a voltage drop on mains hook-ups. A supply as low as 190V will affect refrigerator operation. If cooling is disappointing on mains, reverting to gas operation may improve performance. This also applies abroad, since electrical regulations may be different to those in the UK and the supply voltage may be considerably lower than 230V. Gas operation Yes, you can continue to return items as normal as long as you follow the government guidelines about leaving your house. Caring for your caravan's refrigeratorRefrigerators and freezers are extremely useful appliances to have in your caravan. They come in a huge range of sizes and designs, so there's sure to be a Dometic fridge for your caravan. Thetford Caravan RefridgeratorsThetford Absorption caravan fridges work in a different way from the one at home. Because the Thetford refrigerators have no compressor, they are far quieter. So your enjoyment of your cosy caravan or motor home won't be disturbed.Thetford absorption fridges are extensively tested to our high-quality standards. You can be assured that our fridges will give a first-class performance in any situation. Thetford fridges come with a three-year guarantee instead of the usual two years.

And if the fridge will be turned off, prop the door open to allow air to circulate freely. The Thetford Premium LCD line is equipped with many modern conveniences. It has a unique LCD display indicating the cooling level you have entered and the selected energy source.

They are all available with electric (EES) or automatic operation (SES). What more could you want?
Seems Dometic sent 2 to my caravan dealer on 1st June, after receiving a claim on 31 May. We complained re 2 broken shelves on 10th January! Bailey seems to have only just heard of problem, and are investigating.... GRRRR. Do I really believe that? Why has no one else complained. If you Google these shelves there have been complaints since 2015! The same fridge freezer is fitted in twin axle Swift Conqueror/Elegance and Sterling Continental/Elites. Also in Bessaccar TA models.Between uses, a caravan fridge can often harbour unpleasant odours. So before you close up your caravan after a holiday, be sure to clean the fridge thoroughly. Whatever kind of awning you have, be sure to take good care of it so that it lasts through many holidays. One of the best ways to do this is to wipe it down thoroughly to remove dirt and moisture before storing. Get the most from your caravan's generatorIf you travel to locations where electricity hook-ups are not available, a Dometic generator can be a very welcome accessory for your caravan. Cooked meals and staples like bread and milk are ideal for freezing and will keep the fridge compartment well chilled while slowly defrosting for use at your destination. Fill the fridge to capacity, if possible, and avoid opening the door. Between trips
Caravan generators help to ensure that you never miss out on the comforts of home while enjoying the great outdoors. To get the best performance, you should take time to undertake regular maintenance on the generator and if you need any Dometic spares, Leisureshopdirect can help you out. The Thetford Deluxe caravan fridge line is a complete range of fridges with many advantages, such as efficient door containers, flexible bottle slides and a handy flame indicator. You can choose from piezo (MEC) or electric ignition (EES). Because of safety risks, it is strongly recommended that you do not operate on bottled gas whilst on tow. A naked flame is prohibited at petrol stations, motorway service areas and in most tunnels. Ferry crossingsBefore using your refrigerator, read the operating instructions thoroughly and adjust the thermostat according to the weather conditions. Before you set off Dometic spares: keeping your caravan in tip-top conditionSpending time in a caravan is a great chance to get away from the stresses of everyday life. For many, one of the best parts of a caravan holiday is being able to take all your home comforts with you, wherever you go. Dealer blames Dometic, they dont reply to e mails, and cant be reached on the telephone! Great service! Like any gas-operated appliance, a refrigerator must be serviced at frequent intervals, and an annual service is recommended. A service once every two years should be adequate. Dealer says they asked for 4, 2 more had broken in March. So what happened to those 2? Stony silence. Someone else who complained loudly got them I presume. And why did it take over 4 months to put in a claim?
Great Deal
