Fridge temps
I am here in central Fl. with the now temp of 102 outside. 5th wheel in direct sun with no ac running and inside 5th wheel temp of 89 to 92. Fridge temp is 42. freezer is -5. Is this the average?

Freezer temp is what is expected.
Course that also depends on 'HOW' you are measuring those temps. ?
Thermometer probe hanging in air
Thermometer probe in glass of water
Fridge temp display

Infrared will NOT give up real fridge temps. Just a reference temp of cabinet wall etc.
Thermometer in glass of water in food section will give you 'food temp' and bet it reads LOWER than that Infrared
42*F via Infrared your fridge is working just fine!- I would say yours is working well for that temp. I am glad to stay in the 40's when it gets hot.

Inferred- Sounds about right if in direct sun. Put your hand on the outside of the refer area. It can burn you so be careful. With dark paint it is amazing how hot it can get. Some simple covering over that area, not blocking vents of course, can make a huge difference. Even a layer of cardboard to block direct rays.
