The fridge and freezer in your Horizon Hopper are electricity powered. To use it, make sure the camping battery switch is turned to ON:
There is a round dial inside the fridge where you can turn it on and adjust the temperature. We suggest to start with a medium temperature setting.
Watch it in the video:
Be a little patient 🥰
Please be aware that it may take a few hours until the fridge is fully cooled down! The warmer the environment is and the more food you put in, the longer it may take.
You can speed up the cooling process by:
- putting food in, that already comes from a fridge
- adding cool-packs/ice-packs
Troubleshooting
Be aware that the fridge will pull from the main vehicle battery if you let the camper battery run completely dry. So avoid running out of camper battery, otherwise the motor will not start anymore.
If the fridge is not working:
- Start the engine and try again.
- Check if the main power is on and the battery has enough power:
- Check the fuses under the back seat. Look for "10 REFRIG":
Before any fuse is pulled, following safety measures is required:
- Turn off the engine and remove the key from the contact.
- Unplug the car from any external power supply.
- Pull carefully on the fuse by pulling from the sides.
- A damaged fuse can be burnt or have the connector broken (see picture). If so, please replace it. You can find them at petrol stations and hardware stores.
