Tip for the Freezer

   Put a single ice cube in a paper cup and
leave it in your freezer and check it daily to be sure there
had not been a power failure at the campground while you were
away for the day, or that nothing else has happened to cause
the frozen foods to partially thaw and re-freeze again.

If the freezer has been working well, the ice cube should
retain it's original shape. If it has melted and re-frozen the
ice will be puddled in the bottom of the cup and chances are
that the quality of your food in the freezer and refrigerator
will be comprised.
