Dometic Refrigerator Help?!

Rookie refrigerator question.
We are in the road for our first long road trip, and our Dometic freezer is plenty cold! Fridge “was cold when we left (38 degrees running on AC at our house). Temperature in fridge got up to 51 while driving today! Fins in fridge (older model Clss A 200 Holiday Rambler in great condition) were nice and frosty when we left house 6 hours ago. Now, we are connected to 50amps, and temp dropped to 48 so far after about 3 hours. We have small battery operated fan from Camping World running in there, and seems to be slowly cooling. But SLOWLY! And no frost on the fridge fins now. Freezer is still very cold at like 20 degrees and lower.

Any suggestions or help appreciated. We are BRAND NEW to RVing. So any help is greatly appreciated!

No clue as to your fridge or coach, so you might consider adding some particulars to you signature.
Most modern fridge versions will sw. over to LP automatically when without 120vac. If not, do so manually.
Some have had problems with the gas going out while underway, but there should be some sort of an alarm for that.
Do you have an inverter and is there an outlet behind the fridge for it, would also be a good question.
We do and run the fridge with it, while underway, rather than use propane. Also for short stops, but not for any length of time, as it will soon deplete the batteries.
Having an inverter on and leaving the fridge on auto, insures 120vac operation, but again, will deplete the batteries when not on shore power, genset or with the engine's alternator.
