Excess heat in bunk above outdoor kitchen..
Just as title says - Bunk above compartment that houses the outdoor kitchen in our 280QBS is excessively hot. Warm to the touch. Heat is coming in from outside, obviously.. Warranty fix, or "mod"? ...

Additional ideas...
1. Add computer fans to pull air out of fridge space. This is done often and improves the cooling of the fridge, considered an efficiency improvement.
2. Ifmyou need serious heat/sound insulation, check out the sound deadening mats used to line vehicles, including the heatshield stuff used to cover the "lid" (can't think of right name) inside a van that covers the motor.
That stuff is designed to handle serious heat and is sound deadening. Much of it is adhesive, too. It's expensive and probably overkill, IMHO, but available.
People have made baffles, diverters, heat shields, etc to redirect airflow through fridge vents and out the vents.
Does your outside compartment door have vents? Got a pic?
