Test #1 07-08-16:
NOTE: RV side which has refer vent is facing direct sun
Turned fridge on last night (07-06-16) around 6pm
Temps as follows:
8:30AM - 70F ambient temps - 34F refer
1:00Pm - 93F ambient temps - 34F refer
4:05pm - 93F ambient temps - 38F refer
5:00pm - 91F ambient temps - 39F refer
Turned fans on manually at 3:30pm (auto 120F thermo never turned on).
Seems odd that auto fans never turned on. I would think that it reached 120F above absorber coils at hottest part of day and would have activated the 120F thermo
I will try agin tomorrow with fans turned on earlier in day
