Wrong type of upper vent?
My Dometic 2652 located in a slide has never cooled well. With the addition of fans I have been able to keep the refer temp around 40 degrees. All systems have been checked and properly serviced. ...

What you have is very normal.
Another thing that's normal is for RV manufacturers to ignore the installation instructions in ragards to clearances and flue baffling.
It would behoove you to pull the fridge and follow the install instructions to the letter.
Also, I would create a radiused or angled flue to smooth the flow of air out the upper vent rather than the hard 90 degree it probably has to make now.
If you can provide the chimney effect the manufacturer instructions describe and smooth the flow of air exiting the compartment, it will cool better.
These are EXCELLENT POINTS and in my two trailers I also found the installation with regards to baffling and clearances not to specs and poor.
A major discrepancy I found on both trailers is not properly sealing off the dead air space at the top of the refer which can form a "HOT AIR POCKET" and severly restrict air flow out of the top vent.
