Hot refrigerator coils...(Fun Finder)

Not always. A fridge will have an exhaust vent out the roof if it's positioned in an elevated location in the trailer, which most are. However, in those cases where the fridge may be located closer to the floor with an open space above the fridge - as was the case with my own non-slide KZ Spree 240BH - the fridge exhaust will be located on the sidewall of the trailer above the intake below it. Obviously any fridge that's located in a slide will exhaust through the sidewall as it can't be vented out the slide roof which when stored is within the trailer body itself. :R

How is the frig's inside temp doing? If it can't keep up with the heat there are a couple of things you can try.

In hot weather I always popped off the top vent to help the hot air escape and improve air flow.

Or you can add a computer fan.

Or park in the shade, or at least keep the frig in the shade. If it's in a slide, get a slide awning.

it still gets hot, that's the point of its operation.
It can be, and should be the same temp in the boiler regardless of the heat source

She's on electric.

I thought the top coils were the hottest? If the fridge is working I call normal.

Sounds love she has a refer in a slide, and therefore the two vents. A non slide unit has one side (lower intake) vent and the exhaust vent on the roof.

The roof vent facilitates convection, while the two side vents usually have a fan to promote air flow.

By the way is the refer on propane?
