You probably won't gain much with that adjustment, but it is worth a try. RV fridges don't recover very well so any time you add warm or hot items it takes a toll on the system. Keep the drinks in a cooler when possible. We put a mini fridge in the garage this year just for drinks. It doesn't do a much better job of recovering, but if I restock it at night before I go to bed, it does just fine.
I think you have an 8cf, but this still applies. I found with our 12cf that it really helps to have a fan circulating air over the fins. In fact I have 2 fans in mine. It really helps reduce the temperature and it keeps the fins from frosting up. The next thing that many people do (especially when the fridge in a slide out) is add fans behind the fridge or in the vent stack to move more air across the coils. I haven't gone this route yet, but I have been considering it.
Do you only have 1 AC unit in your 342? You make it sound like it is unbelievably hot in your trailer. Our 315 will stay in the low to mid 70s with 2 AC units in 96* heat.
I assume that you tried to light the pilot first? With the knob in the pilot position, push the knob in and hold while you light the pilot. You may have to hold the know for a few seconds after it lights.
