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!!

Gradual decline of working 12v compressor fridge


We've had this 12v compressor fridge installed in our RV (self installed, self built motorhome) for 5 years. When it was first installed it only needed 12.75v to start it. Then, after one year it needed about 13v, another year 13.5v.... Now it needs 14.25v to start, but our alternator won't produce that. When we are plugged in to 220 (we are in Europe) the battery charger will produce just enough and the fridge will run fine. 

What is our problem, and how do we fix it?
