I have a Dometic NDA1402 side x side refrigerator and anytime I travel it gets warmer, even when we don't open it. It does not matter if it is running on propane or if I run it on the generator. It do...

Update, I put a plug in the drain line to prevent warm air from going up the line when driving and the refrigerator and freezer both got warmer as usual when driving.
My trip was about 100 miles and temp went from 32 to 41 in the fridge and 1 up to 17 in the freezer, i think Doug is correct, I just have to figure out where the warm air is coming from when driving so now I plugged the drain hole from the inside of the freezer and the refrigerator and drove 17 miles in 84 degree outside temp (which is about 10 degrees hotter than my 100 mile trip home) And since I had to open the doors to tape shut the drain ports my starting temps were a bit higher 39.5 degrees in the fridge and 17.5 in the freezer. After 17 miles my refrigerator went up to 41 but my freezer temp dropped to 11 degrees so it looks like we are going in the right direction
