I was told by an RV tech that the fin farthest to the right is for coldest temp. (That doesn't prove anything... I'm just relaying what he told me.)
I assume you know that an empty refrigerator will not hold its coolness worth a hoot... so, do you have some bottled water or anything else inside there? That fridge needs to have stuff in it to really show you what it can do.
My Norcold (in previous TT) was not getting cold enough, so as an experiment I tried hanging a fan outside the upper vent to suck air out that vent (pulling cooler air in lower vent). The fridge temp dropped 18 degrees. If you try this and it works, just wire a computer muffin fan into place inside the vent and let it run.
Another way to cope, at least on a temporary basis, is to freeze a gallon jug of water or two and place in the fridge before you leave. Of course, if you are camping in hot weather this ice won't last more than a couple of days; but if you're headed to where it is cooler the fridge will also be cooler.
Far right fin......Dometic
2nd, 5th fin, 10th fin....Depends on which Norcold Model
