    It’s obviously too late but when I’ve had fridge problems, I put ice in the crisper. The fridge ends up being used like a cooler.
    Also, instead of chicken stock when travelling, bullion cubes are an alternative.
    Looking forward to the next video :)
    BTW, I hope the RV rental company compensated you for that terrible dirty rig!

      Also, most American grocery stores also carry chicken stock/broth in small cans…about the size of a soup can. I second the ice in the crisper drawer. You could also buy a cheap styrofoam cooler, put ice in it and store it in the fridge.

    • @RoamingRadfords

    I’ve no idea what your location is in real time, but Key West itself is a really nice spot. Very chilled. Chickens literally strolling around the streets. Kelly’s Caribbean bar/grill (Top Gun fame). Lovely town to cycle around.
    There’s businesses along the keys that offer you opportunity to swim with dolphins (Captive). Please don’t. I’ve visited Taiji, Japan where dolphins are captured to supply these businesses. It’s all bad.
    Disregard Key West reference. I’d typed that while half way through the video. You’ve definitely been and gone at this stage.

      I had the insta360 one x2 and quite fancy the insta360 x3 but they are expensive and I won’t use it a great deal so can’t quite justify throwing almost £500 down on something I won’t use much, but if you need a 360 camera look at the x3 or even it’s bigger brother the insta360 one rs with the 1 inch sensor amzn.to/3wBI8RF

    I think with the poorly performing fridge, I would have bought a 12v chest fridge/freezer for about $1,000 then billed the rental company. Its not safe or acceptable to not have adequate refrigeration. I would have risked not getting refunded on it, and maybe get it shipped back afterwards.

      I totally understand your thoughts! Weirdly the RV is only a year old, it’s a style that Cruise America buy in bulk. As for the campsite prices, the Florida Keys are huge Tourist Attractions and we were there at Peak season. Hang in there and you will get an idea of the true cost of “Holiday Parks”.
