hi all as any one ever taken the gas oven out and replased it with a table top freezer. the ice box in our fridge is a very small one it wont hold much.could do with alot more room i know i could only use it on elec and dont know if it would work fitted in anyone ever tried anything like this any advise thanking you kath
Not done it personally but can't see it being a major problem. I'm in the process of re-designing my caravan kitchen to fit a fridge and oven.
Things you will need to watch are the size of the unit - width, depth and height, the weight of the appliance and its power consumption - tripping the electric on site won't make you very popular!! Another thing to think about is that it may have an effect on its value when you come to sell - maybe store the oven so that it can be put back in again at a later date?
I'm sure someone more experienced will be along to offer advice.
It is recommended that the freezer is allowed to stand for a period of time before it is switched on. I have seen timescales of 1 to 24 hours being quoted, 1 hour if it was transported upright, which, of course, you would be doing. Then there is the time taken to get icy cold.
Having said that, whenever I have bought a fridge/freezer, I have just unpacked it, put it in position and switched it on and never had a problem!
No doubt someone will come along soon to tell me I am wrong but I believe freezers only need to be left to stand if they have been tipped.
Personally I have not done this mod & wouldn't cos people don't usually want to buy a messed with van. I would put a small freezer in the awning if it was an issue - which it isn't. Depends how many of you travel I guess
