A little update. I took my RV on a trip to the Mammoth cave (400 miles exactly).
I also took a thermometer with me.
Here's the deal. The fridge IS working and it IS cooling. However, it is NOT cooling well. After about 8 hours, it cooled the inside to about 50 degrees F, whereas the freezer is well frozen.
Because of a safety check that results in a NO CO error if the fridge does not reach the intended temperature in 4 hours, I have to "hack" it to bypass that by turning the fridge off for a few seconds every couple of hours.
That restart resets the timer and the fridge at least does not shut off.
I will restart it at night also when I get up to pee or whatever.
I am not really happy but I can complete my trip.
That's a pretty common symptom when you have a set of house batteries that aren't feeling well. So at least check those soon after you travel a couple hundred miles and before plugging into shore power. See where their voltage is. If it's low, there's your problem.
