Improving fridge performance

The196 fridge is not like the 179 or smaller model rpods. The fridge in these units are very good even in high heat conditions. I'm in a 195/196 group, and nobody has trouble with a warm fridge. There is one adjustment you can make. inside the fridge, at the top right corner, there is a slide adjuster. Up is colder, down is warmer. I run mine all the way down, and it barely stays above freezing. I would really recommend getting the wireless themometers to see whats going on, and keeping the door closed. Like I said earlier, I see a 15 degree warmer temp change when someone doesn't quickly get what they need, and close the door. I don't keep drinks in the fridge to minimize opening. BTW, I also have a small battery operated circulator fan in the fridge, and I don't keep lots of food in it. I tend to shop every 2 days or so, not sure if that helps mine run better

+1  The additional fans will help though.  My 177 came with 2 muffin fans on the back (March 2011) and I had similar issues until I moved the bi-metal switch with a couple inches of the exhaust stack.  Until that happened those 2 fans never came on.  With the bi-metal switch closer to the heat the muffin fans come on sooner and run longer resulting in a much colder fridge temp.  A month ago we had ambient temp of 98 yet the interior fridge temp was 34 and that was at a setting of 4 out of 5 bars.  It also helps big time if you can park your rig so the fridge and its grills face north.  Facing east would be a second choice (if you are in the sun).  Avoid south and west exposures if you are in an open or sunny location when temps get hot.
