1. There should be a drain hose coming from the drip tray. Open the outside refridge panal and look. This hose should have a loop in it to act as a trap. There should be water in there or water added.
If theres no water then the hot outside air is just entering the inside of the refridge through the tube.
Just doing this you can probably lower the temp 10 dgrees..
2. New RV refridges all state AFAIK that the unit needs to be operated 40 times before it reaches its proper cooling capibilities. Read your manual. I bet it states that.
3. Its a new camper. Take it back to the dealer to get it checked....Im sure you have a 2 yr bumper to bumper warranty with that airstream.. They cost a pretty penny...
Let us know your findings with the hose and manual..
Even though my camper is an 2003 the refridge as not even been close to being used 40 times.
My temps are 40 refridge .. Never took temps in freezer as everything stays frozen..
40 times????????? WHERE is the world did you read that? What about people that buy and then use full time? I have never seen that and have never heard that you have to use 40 times. Of course, I only have 36 years as a tech. Maybe that was for an OLDER Pre 70's RV refer:B How about 24 HOURS, not 40 times? Doug
