Question Dometic cooler in basement, keep it or leave it?

[Neal]

In your RVing lifestyle, how important is a second/separate cooler from your main refrigerator/freezor? I added a Dometic CF-80 to my right forward basement and have enjoyed it for years solely for keeping drinks cold and easily accessible from the patio. As I'm entertaining longer term travel now basement space is becoming more of an issue having to carry inventory my business ships. It's temperature sensitive to some degree so keeping it in the back of my pickup bed under a lockable cover is not ideal but possible. I'm thinking of removing the Dometic CF-80 and using the right forward basement for storage instead, solely for the business inventory and packing materials. I realize this is partly a business decision, for now, but I wonder what the opinions are on the additional cooler, keep it or store it for now? How much are you using yours if you have one, could you do without it?

With just me and the wife our fridge is more than adequate to hold all our beverage needs. I have consider something like this but just don't need the additional fridge space. The convenience would be nice.

Full timed for over a year and never needed one. Space is more important.

That will probably work for you, @Neal. But I love mine, and would never think about giving it up.

When I bought my first trailer I got rid of the ext mini fridge and used the space for my generator and electrical cords....

We use it for the drinks and snacks for entertainment outside , so that we don’t have to go inside.
