Have you tried it on propane? They seem to operate much better on gas. It also takes quite a bit of time for them to cool. I'd always run mine overnite the evening before I needed it.

Not yet, I still have to update the propane connection. Ordered those this morning. I have had it on for about 6 hrs and the fins are hot.

I can try the gas sometime this week.

6 hours is not enough time for much cooling. How are things this AM?

I unplugged the camper last night to try to "burp" it. Plan on plugging it back in tonight around dinner and let it set for a day and see what happens. I'm really hoping after leaving it plugged in over night it starts to get cool. I understand these take a lot of time to cool. I know the last camper I had my boys were young and after a weekend of camping by Sun afternoon with them opening and closing it every 10 minutes thinking something had changed from the last time they looked I couldn't keep a stick of butter from dis forming.

I'm really taken back at the cost of new replacements. Tried searching for a dual voltage unit last night that was an actual fridge and not the portable cooler type and wasn't having much luck.

I seen a few mention a compressor type replacement. Are these designed for campers or something that you made work? The reason I ask is from two articles that I read online there is a reason why Dometic and one other company are the number one choices for campers and thats the compressor and the lines aren't made for travel and the vibration that comes along with it. The propane feature is nice but 80% never use it. They back it in the little spot they get at the CG and plug it in.

I'm not against not having the propane option, Ill feel a little less like a man but if a regular fridge is 300.00 and its 1300.00 for the propane I'm ready to pull up my skirt. ;)

Thanks!
