Hopefully you started with the basics.
Clean the chimney?
Clean the burner?
Clean the burner jet/orifice?
Verify the correct LPG pressure?
When I had trouble one thing I found was that the pressure was only 9".

Have you checked the thermistor? It could be bad, or just located wrong.

Have you tried the fridge fix? Over on the FG RV forum and Escape forums we have similar issues and have had some success with this: http://www.smartrvproducts.com

Are you sure the statement that just because a little of something is good, doesn’t mean that a lot of it is any better wouldn’t apply here…
For the fridge to work properly it has to be operated level when stationary…
It needs good ventilation…
And it needs a precise amount of heat…
I am sure you are someone that likes to do it yourself, do nice and neat work for sure, but this looks like a new unit, possibly under warranty… if so why not allow the mfg. to repair or replace it… before they can use your mods as a reason for its failure…
(This warranty will be in effect for three years on parts and freight and two years on labor from the date of purchase by the Original Purchaser. It is suggested that the original purchaser retain a copy of the dated bill of sale as evidence of the date ofpurchase.)
Good ventilation would not require that the rear area be converted to a wind tunnel, and might actually alter the precise and required amount of heat needed to perk properly… maybe the preset temperature control is just faulty…

**UPDATE**
So.. after repositioning my 4-fan array pointing up and into the evaporator fins and adding an upper baffle to force air out of the upper vent, my interior fridge still hit 42F today on a 74F partially sunny day.
Very frustrated. 😞

Wow! Now you have it right. That'll do the job.
As for the dividing baffle, there is more space between my pop up reefer's guts and the outer wall of the camper than you have. Your fans are where I had to put a baffle.
You're good-to-go.

Many big box stores and most farm supply stores sell 24" squares of thin sheet metal and aluminum.
Roll roof flashing comes 24" wide in aluminum too.
Good Luck, Mike

One more thought. It is more difficult to PULL air across those coils than it is to BLOW the air. On my Pop up, I put the fan under the coil and blew the air up and out, drawing from the lower vent.

I also added a baffle to separate the lower compartment from the upper.

Four years ago, I wrapped my cardboard baffle in aluminum foil. Not a problem with it so far.(Did I mention that was 4 years ago?) 🙂
