          We have the Norcold N300 and is imo pretty small. We are planning a week long trip and I’d like to pack as much food as possible. Any tips for maximizing fridge space or ways around this? We do have a cooler we can bring too.

              Freeze meals in Ziploc bags. Squeeze out the air and lay them flat for more efficient stacking. They keep each other cold and maximize space in both your fridge and cooler.

                    Great tip! I’ve been using containers, but bags make sense. Thanks

                      Our fridge is pretty small too. A cooler defnitely helps. Keep some meals in a cooler with ice or ice packs and gradually move them into the fridge as space opens up.

                      Also, don’t pack your fridge too tightly. Cold air needs space to circulate, or you’ll end up with frozen items in the back and warm ones near the front.

                          Drinks take up a lot of fridge space. Refill the fridge with warm drinks as cold ones are used.
