I usually run the fans when the temp is over 80 and in direct sunlight and turn them off at night. Been kind of trial and error to see how much they help or not.
Started off at 25 at 5:30 this morning and the gauge was over 85 when I got home at 6:00. Fans ran all day.
As for the fins, are you talking about the ones that are about half way up the fridge? If so, I have a fan that is directly underneath of those pointed up to draw the fresh inlet air up to the exhaust fans.
So that very well could be my issue. That fan is point blank blowing air over those fins. I went ahead and disconnected it and will see tomorrow when I run the fans for the heat if it makes a difference.
I’m curious though. When I had the camper in the garage when I first installed the fans, I never had an issue with the fridge not staying cold with the fans running, even the one blowing over the fins.
I was on AC power, but that shouldn’t make a difference between propane or AC for the heat on the Fins right?
