strange refridg problem

Question

Our dometic rm362 (antique,I know) works just fine on 110v or propane when we are parked, but when we start driving, using propane, the temperature will get as high as 75 or 80 degrees internally. when we stop, temp goes back down again either propane or 110v. Weird right?
Again, sitting still cold, moving gets hot. Any ideas?

Is the burner going out when you drive?

Possibly you are getting a down draft when you are moving. If you stop at a rest area, can you hear the flame operating, or is it out. I would check on the condition of the roof vent cover to make sure it is in good condition.

It's an older class C with a roof vent. We turn it up to max, and the flame does not go out. I've thought about he possibility of a down draft but I can't figure out where it would come from. The roof vent appears to be just fine.
