Attention Avanti Thermo Electric Cooler Owners!

The bottles would do it to you then. yes they will help keep the temperature steady for a longer period of time (meaning they will fill up cubic ft space) BUT - the down side is the the bottle will condensate with the temperature fluctuations.

On a side note: get those cabs off the bottom if possible. At the very least raise them with a spare empty box. I almost lost a box of siglo II's because I had them sitting on the bottom.

Wetness on the bottom?

Yes, the plastic walls/floor inside the cooler can, and usually will, condensate. Think of your glass of cap n' coke sitting out on a spring day. The two different areas of temperateure will cause a condensation buildup (albeit not that drastic). The other possibility is that the cooling fins could condensate and drip down to the floor of the cooler as well.

I think this is pointed out in the vinotemp 102. (it might be from another site though). All I know is that it "almost" happened to me until I read about it and took appropriate action.
