In Ciudad Obregon August 1996, outside temp was ONE HUNDRED TWENTY TWO DEGREES, inside temp was absurdly hot. Had to stop and get a hotel with A/C
But the FREON based refrigerator had a door shelf temp of 39F, inside temp of 35 and the freezer remained at -5F. The units have cabinets sealed, and have each, one 24 volt 160 CFM fan passing over the condenser coils. I was worried about the 4 L-16's so I got up at 0400 and started the engine for a half hour. That Niehoff alt went to full regulated voltage instantly. BTW the outside temp was 103F. I stayed for a second night, glued to the 20,000 BTU hotel A/C unit. The local Chinese restaurant delivered food. It arrived piping hot (just imagine).
A good case of "switch-quick" food poisoning plus a wallet flattened from throwing away spoiled food will sooner or later convince the skeptics, no matter how hard the head :)
