LP vs AC
I also am having cooling issues with my Dometic RM3862. Is it typical for these to operate better on AC than on LP? Like a previous poster, the freezer seems to be cold enough, but the refrigerator ...

The BTU's of LP AND 120 ac are identical. RV refers will operate the exact same on either source. There is NO WAY to even test to see which way is better. There are way to many variables that would affect an absorbsion cool down rate. Slightly LOW LP pressure and/or a dirty burner will cause slower cooling on LP. Low AC voltage will cause slower cooling on 120(Very common at marginal CG's with AC supply currents). As the OP stated, HE thinks it cools better on AC, NOT LP. But, if so, he needs his refer LP burner and his LP pressure checked. Doug
Doug in research testing can be done quite well if you manage the variables like we did. :) Doing the testing on the old Norcold 6162 was not hard at all with the new Amish reman cooling using and cleaned electric element and burner.
