No doubt Sue. We had just cleaned out the fridge 3 days before.

That was your problem. You cleaned the refrig. If you hadn't cleaned the refrig all would have been fine............

Was driving over a pass and the unopened bag chips beside me exploded like a gunshot! Scared the daylights out of me. Next time, I waited to buy chips until I was already in the mountains. Those stores must get them from another packaging plant at a higher elevation so they don't explode.

If Van Horn, Texas is too exciting for you, try Groom, Texas.

Well, I just learned something. I have been motorhoming for 18 years and did not know that. I had trouble with my fridge not running cool enough and a tech at a motorhome repair shop told me to move it left (several fins) to get it cooler. It would be useful if the up (colder) / down (warmer) info were printed inside the fridge right by the slide.

Two things you don't want hear at 0530

We don't carry cans of soda's in the coach anymore., They do tend to leak and make a mess. Plastic bottles hold up better and we never put anything like that in the freezer, except a half bottle of water to freeze and carry along on an adventure trip.

My chips never stay closed long enough to worry about that issue

The problem is once opened, you can’t eat just ONE chip.
