Thanks Doug, I suspected bad air over the top and bottom vents when driving since my awning arm sticks out about 3 inches and is about 5 inches in front of the two vents which would creat a lot of turbulence. So last night I got out the ladder and removed the upper vent cover and there was a lot of heat up there but the factory fans were not running so I installed a jumper wire to make the fans run constantly and the refrigerator cooled down faster the usual and I will see how it does on the way home tomorrow.
P.S. I almost went residential fridge a few weeks ago since it stopped working on me but I figured while I was pulling it out I much as well try turning it upside down before just replacing it and it started working again. I already did all the measurements to see what would fit but since it started working again I figured I would save my money for the moment.
Thanks I will let you know if it keeps temp better with the fans on, if it does I might relocate the fans up to the grill.
