A/C LP Refrigerators

What you found to be the most efficient and pratical way to help refrigerator cool in warm (hot) weather?
Thanks
  • Have you read this thread? Did same on my pop-up ten years ago and it really helps.

    Nevercold now very cold, east fix

    Otherwise I would run the 2-way fridge on propane for best efficiency. They were designed to be run on propane with the 120v heater as a convenience add-on.
  • Plus if really hot run the ACs to cool the inside, but doubtful that it gets that hot is Salem.
  • Small fans blowing fresh air up the stack where the reefer coils are. Brings my reefer down a solid 5 degrees
  • SCV said it all. when first starting 24hrs before you load it,, put a gal jug of frozen water in, it will help reduce cooling time.
  • We just let it do its thing.
    we have a Dometic fridge and it keeps up quite well weather on A/C or propane.
    If it is really hot we try and use the air conditioner to keep the inside of the motor home comfortable, but if boondocking, the fridge keeps up quite well.
