With the continuous fan running the temp has stayed at a steady 36 when the temps are in the 80's or lower.
I had a similar situation with my pop up. See the cooling fins behind the single fan? Your problem is the air goes around those fins rather than through them.

I also installed two fans but have found them unneeded except for in the very hottest weather. Previously the refrigerator was about useless even in mild temperatures.
