My conclusion is the frig is broke and needs a new cooling unit, or am I missing something?

BTW, my suggestion to him was to install a residential unit instead.

First a suggestion.. Look for a brown or yellow stain or powder lower right outside compartment.. If you see it I'd say odds your conclusion is spot on.

Power fail: No cold (I was camping one day when Digger O'Neal and his back hoe sliced the primary (ZAAAAAPPPP lights out)

NOW: a somoehat expensive but very good alternative is what I call a "Danfoss class" Both Dometic and Norcold have made them Just now I could not find them but they draw in the range of 50 watts.

This one 150
