Many first-time RV owners and renters will mistakenly overpack their RV fridges. This is typically done intentionally to ensure you have extra food just in case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, overpacking can be a messy (and sometimes even fatal) mistake. This is because overpacking an RV fridge can prevent proper air circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order for air to circulate properly in an RV fridge, there needs to be enough space between the contents of the fridge itself. The cooling fans inside the refrigerator facilitate the airflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To avoid food spoilage, it\u2019s critical to ensure your food products are spaced out enough to allow for the proper air circulation. This will ensure cold food stays cold and prevents bacteria from multiplying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep in mind, it\u2019s not always obvious when food has spoiled. Consuming spoiled food (especially meat and dairy products) can lead to serious illness and sometimes death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider Using Special Storage Containers As Drawers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Most RV refrigerators only have one or two drawers built-in, but you can easily create an entire pull-and-grab system by adding a few storage baskets for added convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goal is to make the most out of a small space. Being able to pull out a drawer allows you to easily reach items deep in your fridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, in order for drawers to work properly, you\u2019ll typically need special glides or slides installed. However, to get around this, you can buy special storage containers (like these ones<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\nAdding simple containers on your shelf that pull out is an easy way to add “drawers” to your RV’s fridge. Just be sure the storage containers you buy are going to fit correctly by measuring the length, height, and width of the inside of your fridge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
