You’ll find a number of variations on the use of the Dometic among CI folk. We have mostly settled on running the fridge in freezer mode with a dozen or so spring water bottles and any frozen foods and then switching those frozen bottles out with other bottles in a good cooler, hence never buy...

We have been using the Dometic from CI in freezer mode with a bunch of plastic spring water bottles (and a few frozen items) we rotate the frozen bottles into a conventional cooler, love never buying ice. We plug the freezer into the TV when going down the road, otherwise supplement with solar...

My advice would be slowww down and don't over schedule, moving every day or two gets to be a real grind. Too much traveling, not enough being anywhere. IMHO, better to have a very leisurely time enjoying 5 places than a mad march to see 10.

We got our 560 late Oct of last year. No CTEK but we do religiously unplug TV from TD when stopping for the day. We also discussed our planned Dom. use with Craig and Cary of CI. My distillation of all of these very helpful sources of info is that we can run it in freezer mode in TV with no...
