Yo Mex, How you holding out down south?
Was watching the weather channel marveling at the record high temps! How are you setup? Are you out in the sticks under a tree or something? You off grid? what temps have you seen so far? Inquir...

The one and single, solitary only gas cooling appliance I have ever owned that worked correctly in hot weather was a Dometic FC-140 Freezer. It had lots of plumbing, six inches of insulation and a whopping ONE POINT FIVE CUBIC FOOT STORAGE.
One summer, long-ago, I got sick three times. A Brand New Norcold could not keep up. The refrigerator was working according to specification. It did the same thing the year before so Sal at Kool Fun exchanged the unit with another brand new unit.
When the tiniest tienda is a 70-mile round trip, purchasing groceries means getting enough to last 7-10 days.
Troubleshooting? Sal and a Tech Rep from Norcold both pronounced the installation as being 'excellent' Fans? Try four, added one at a time including a top flue fan that was 200 CFM. Inside D Cell fans. Nothing did a damned thing to help. Verified by thermometer. The refrigerator originally came with an ice cube maker. But in reality it turned out mushy chunky sno-cones.
Food poisoning isn't fun, in case you've never gotten a dose of it. Its the rottenest, filthiest 15-hours you'll ever spend in your life.
Milk went sour in three days. Eggs must never be stored after breaking. Mayonnaise would put the Center For Disease Control on Red Alert. There were 3 distantly parked rigs. They all complained of the same problem.
ENOUGH! Only a fool would tolerate repeated bouts of food poisoning. I switched to electric and the interior temperature dropped ten degrees for both refrigerator and freezer. No pilot lights, no eyebrow fires, no sudden ammonia disasters, and best of all - no more 33 trips to the toilet in one hour. My refrigerator and freezer interior light up like Times Square at New Years, with LED lighting. Even the vegetable bin and door shelves.
I can keep ice-cream now. This applies to the rig as well. The monster freezer keeps temps at -10F even in 100F weather. When I pour liquid over ice cubes they snap and pop.
If an individual wishes comfort down here, they have to use their brain power to be "Smarter Than The Problem".
