I guess this is probably a silly question but im new to all this.  We are going away tomorrow and Im trying to sort out our food. In the caravan we have a fridge with a small freezer compartment in the top.  At home we have a big separate freezer.  What I need to know is would my frozen oven chips stay frozen and what about ice cream?  Are these freezers cold enough?

They certainly are........if you chill them first.  I usually plug in the electric hook up at home for a few hours before adding the food, this chills the fridge on the 240v.  In transit, the car electrics keep it cold, then on site the 240v again, or gas.  I find that my caravan fridge (1994 'van) is colder than the house fridge! 

Hope this helps

Hi Horace

Don't forget to switch to 12v after unhooking the mains or the fridge won't operate whilst travelling.
