Generally propane will always out perform the 120v heating element
What is the line voltage
My guess is you have a big drop in line voltage because the A/C is running
At example 108v the A/C compressor will still work, but the fridge element has lost 12% heating capacity..losing that much in 90+ weather is a big handicap, a new heating element won't help, if the voltage is low
Now is the time to burn propane in the fridge, so you can keep the fridge and the RV cool
