Proper installation in a slide is critical. Using a mirror determine how much of a space there is between the coils and outside wall... one inch max. Likely there is a dead air space above the top vent.
Still under warranty? Make them install it properly... 1’” of clearance and add a angled baffle at the top vent so there is no dead air space. Fans are a bandaid, except for a NoCold 1200.
The upper Fan inside the upper door on a slide installed refer is NOT a Band aid. I will tout my 42 years as a Trained RV tech and also the fact that over the years I have installed countless upper fans blowing out and have 100% effective better cooling. Makes no difference if a 1200 or a standard 2 door refer Norcold or Dometic. Yes, the baffle to direct air ABOVE the fins curved to get to the door is also critical. Doug
