Oh, and to post a new thread look for a button in the upper-left area of your screen when you are looking at the listing of threads. From the home page click into a forum, then look for the button.

Ah, I forgot about that area under the shower. I'm going to have to look into this, don't forget source link(s) along with your pics! Our electric heater just sits on the floor, mostly in the way.

Easiest way to test is remove the bottom panel (outside) and direct an electric heater into it. Should be more than enough heat even in cold weather to trip the thermostat. Look for both fans to turn on - they are variable-speed so with some playing around with the heater you should be able to get them to go from slow to fast. If they don't turn on or appear to be always slow that is at least part of your problem. In the summer when its hot out and they are on full-speed there is a noticeable sound when you are inside or outside.

They didn't bother baffling well, so you could try using something (aluminum foil, cardboard, etc) to better separate the upper compartment from the lower compartment, forcing more air through the fans. Downside if you camp w/o hookups a lot is this may increase the use of the fans and thus battery power - but w/o baffling when the fans turn on they do more to mix up the air than to blow it up and out. A trade-off either way.

Make sure the pod is level when you run the fridge. Too lopsided and you can kill the fridge due to crystals building up. Modern fridges are more tolerant but still susceptible to this.

Have issues with our fridge like that as well, sometimes I think we go above 40.  I've mentioned this to my dealer several times through the summer and now that I take it in after our season is over I'm going to try and get our fridge replaced or fixed or something.

Sometimes we could make ice overnight on cool Alaska and Canada nights and sometimes it might not make ice for 2 days if we were parked somewhere. Usually we just had to dump our ice trays when we were on the move and buy our ice.
