-----------------------

My fridge had been running on 120v for a day, so it was already cold. I filled my barbie trays after I got this message... about 2PM PDT. It's 9PM now, and I've got 2 trays frozen solid. That's 7 hours. They were probably frozen a while ago, but I forgot to check them until now...

Outside temps have been between 80F this afternoon, down to 58 this evening. The westy was parked in the sun all day, and interior temps ranged from 104F down to 73F now.

I can probably freeze 3 loads (6 trays) of ice per day in most reasonable camping weather. Uhhh... what is 6 trays anyway, about 12 oz of ice? Almost enough for a couple of drinks....

Salute!
