Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

To Fix the Ice Maker or Not


When I bought my class A the Ice Maker did not work in the Norcold Fridge.  I have a choice of buying a new ice maker which is easy to replace myself, or Buy a tabletop ice maker.  From what I can see its about a wash on cost. Judging by how long it takes for my fridge to get cold, I am assuming it will take awhile to make ice vs the portable ice maker that can make ice in minutes.  

So what is everyone's opinion?  Fix it or but a table top ice maker?

We have a Dometic fridge with an ice maker. It barely keeps up with the ice we use. Each ice cycle is long. It finally died so we got one of the counter top ice makers. It makes ice every 7 minutes.

We had 2 of the counter top machines originally (one for home & one for RV) both died after about 5 years of sporadic use. We now have a new one for the RV.

Ice cube trays. We keep cans/bottles in frig to keep cold. Really don't use that much ice, but then ice would water down the wine, which is a no-no.

Having adequate ice in the afternoons is essential. I'm old fashioned..ice trays!
