well the past few days have shown that on AC the fridge will stay 55º or so below ambient.
when it is 110º that's not cold enough. but it is when 90º
( so even if at a campground with AC power and airconditioning on- we may see better fridge temps as the van will be cooler, less heat soak on the fridge)
when powering up, drop in temps of about 6º each hour until we cannot cool any father.
this morning at 10am it was 100º and fridge was at 40º....switched to propane and no huge advantage so far over the ac.( the past 5 hours)
I'll watch this for a couple of days.
In propane mode I am starting at single fan with heat switch ( as when we bought it)
then will try with my 4 fan package.
possible too much air flow could affect the propane heating, we'll see before/after
