When I purchased my R-pod 171 (2012) I didn't get a manual for my frig a Dometic. My question, what is the coldest setting? On the control panel on the right hand side there are two snow flakes the top snow flake is large the bottom snow is small, so what is the coldest setting. ------------- Les |

I have a 2012 177 and the refrigerator that came in mine was a model RM 8501. Here is a link to the owner’s manual. Temperature is shown by the number of lights shown by the snow flakes, I find having 4 lights on is cold enough. 5 lights on is the coldest setting

Does anyone else think that the refrigerator gets colder running on propane than electricity? I tend to run at 4 bars on propane but 5 bars on electric. ------------- Old: 2014 177 HRE 2015 Tacoma V6 4x4 Double Cab New: 2016 EVO ATS 200rd 2016 F150 4x4 Sport |

Runs best on propane or 120 Volts AC ------------- JandL 2013 Honda Ridgeline 2012 177 2 Paynes in a Pod |

Don't notice any difference between 120 volts ac or propane, we usually keep ours at 4 lights unless we are camping in colder weather under 50 degrees, we then back down to 3 lights.
