fridge temp fluctuations
Just had our first outing in our new trailer. All seems well with the exception of our fridge temps. Turned the fridge on electric the day before we left. By morning it was at 35*. Switched to propane...

I have a wireless thermometer in my fridge that also shows me the high and low. I normally see a high/low range of 33 to 38 F in the box. I believe that a variation is normal. That absorbtion cycle takes some time to start removing heat once the thermostat/controll board recognizes the box needs cooling.
I did have a problem last year with the box getting to 44 to 46 F while on LP. It also took a long time to cool from a warm start. After doing all the required jet cleaning, burner cleaning, flue cleaning I found the problem was low gas pressure and a slightly lower that normal flame. I made a homemade manometer and with some clear plastic tubing and found the pressure was 8 inches WC when it should be 11 inches WC. I replaced the regulator and now the box cools better on LP than electric.
.... just some things to think about.
