Well, it looks like we’re double done chillin’ in Gunnison!
We’re leaving here tomorrow for Colorado Springs. It’s forecasted to be warmer than we like, being as how we have half a heat pump and all. But, we need to get moving toward Kansas where we’re planning to get it fixed after Labor Day. Besides, we need to get out of here and find a place to fix something else as soon as we can. You see, our refrigerator has stopped chillin’.
Ugh!
The refrigerator section is empty. It’s too warm to cool anything in there. The freezer section is sitting at something like 40 degrees, so it’s keeping a few things chilled, which saves us having to buy another cooler. Thankfully, we don’t have any signs of ammonia leaking anywhere and our cooling unit seems to be heating up quite nicely. The thing just isn’t cooling.
Paul made several attempts to call a mobile tech here in Gunnison, but the guy hasn’t called back. So, we’re bagging any hopes of having the fridge checked out here. We called the park in Colorado Springs and asked for a recommendation for a mobile tech and if it would be OK to come in a day early. They helped us out with both. Paul called the recommended tech and they’ll be waiting for us tomorrow afternoon.
Hopefully, it’s something simple. We’re not scheduled to leave the Springs until Tuesday, so that gives us some time if parts need to be ordered. And, if we needed to, we could probably stick around until Wednesday. And, if worst comes to worst, we can live without a refrigerator. For awhile, anyway. We can have it fixed with the heat pump. Why not?
We’re trying to keep our spirits up. After all, even with no fridge and half an air conditioner, we’re not working! And, we’re in the Colorado mountains, where it’s beautiful and, relatively speaking, cool and comfortable. Really, we know we can’t complain.
But, we can whine, a little. Can’t we?
More soon from Colorado Springs.

if only the 'wine' was chilled!..geesh!!..hopefully it will be a quick fix for you guys!!!
I do hope it gets fixed easily and quickly. I guess even new coaches have problems. I assume you are still under warranty. But it still seems like a bother!
Sorry to hear about your refrigerator woes ... hopefully it's a minor issue easily fixed and you can have chilled wine instead of unchilled whine. :-))
Is it a Dometic? We understand that the four door model (which we have) is prone to problems. As a matter of fact, right now ours is much warmer than I would like--it's been acting up since I last defrosted it. Hope your repair is an easy fix and that your weather stays cool and pleasant. Denny and I really like the Colorado Springs area, although we actually stay in Monument.
When we had refrigerator problems a few years ago, numerous techs worked on the fridge, pronounced it fixed, and then it would fail again. It finally turned out that it was the trailer's electrical system, and had nothing to do with the fridge. Just an FYI. Hope you get it fixed!
