worthless refrigerator on propane

I did see that. Still seemed to be interest in post follow ons.

+1 comment to Jato post on moving the temp sensor switch. I also did move the temp switch. Before doing so I used a Fluke infrared temp sensor (they are good to have, not just for RV issues) to monitor temps along the cooling fin tube. The mounting provision on mine was 5 fins from the end of cooling line. I moved it to the right at the output of the cooling fins. With fridge running on shore power, an outside temp 90 degrees. The cooling line was at 136 degrees at provided mounting point. At the new mounted point, temp was 176 degrees. As soon as I moved it and connected the wiring the fan came on, it was not running before. For the short time I monitored fridge today, that seems to make a cooling improvement. Interestingly I only have one cooling fan, some have reported two. On mine it was NOT low it was left on the tube and I moved it right at end of cooling fins. I had already performed checks to ensure fan and switch were operational. Simple mod.

Looks like about 60 deg. temperature drop on a 100 deg day is about typical for these small refers.  Even on shore power they do no better. I have seen small battery operated fans for the inside of the refer that move the air over the coils.  there is a small, looks like a computer case fan install below the coils when new.  I do not know when this fans come on?  During the summer no meats are put in the refer, we take along an ice chest for the and the wife has ice for her drinks.

I use reusable freezer bags and place them in fridge day before camp starts, helps the fridge cool down.
