I don't think it has anything to do with the rear fans because with outside temps between mid-40's and mid-50's (as stated by OP), it won't get hot enough behind the fridge for the fans to cycle on.
It has EVERYTHING to do with the 2 rear cooling fans. 1200 models must have those fans to get the hot air out. Regardless of ambient temps. The best thing the OP can do is remove the outside lower access door, get a 120 small fan that he can wedge in there pointing up and test for 24 hours. That fan will supply the needed air if the upper fans are inop. The OP if I missed it should state if refer is IN a slide room. If so, the cooling fans MUST be running. You still need the fans if it has roof top venting. Doug
Doug,
You may be right. At what temp would you say the fan thermostat should turn the fans on?
Its NOT what I SAY. It is what Norcold specs are. Also 23 years and still working on Norcold 1200 series refers. Regardless , the Fans running 24/7 would yield quicker colder temps. The usual failure is the Thermo switch. Doug
The thermostatic switch is mounted on the condenser fin. The switch turns the fan on when the temperature is approximately 130 °F. The switch turns the fan off when fin temperature drops to approximately 115 °F.
