    Default Food Storage and lifespan in the trailer

    Ok a question to all the trailer gurus on here.

    How do you find storing food in the trailers especially over hot days. My wife is concerned about food quaility if it is stored in the trailer on trips. Currently all the food is stored in a tub in the back of the Patrol with the fridge. I feel that all the non perishables should be fine in the trailer in sealed plastic tubs. She is concerned about the eat making things go off but I figure the trailer is white and will be open whenever possible and hopefully parked in the shade anyway.

    Oh and awesome forum and some amazing trailer setups. Will post some pics of mine and the upgrades I hope to do soon.

    dried and tins up to exp date...

    remember food packaging is designed for standard no AC storage......
    steel roofed container etc where heat will be the same or higher than your trailer
