As far as ducting cool air over the condenser, it would have been rediculously easy to do from the factory, especially with that storage space under the fridge. If my idea works, a vent in the back of that space that can be closed, and a closable lower vent on the outside of the trailer would allow you to go back and forth between inside air and outside air running across the coils. That wouldn't solve the problem while going down the road, but maybe a small air scoop vent on the bottom would help out a little bit.   
 

Casey, I had another idea (but it died of loneliness).  In the dry climate out west, we need to install a "mister" (like on patios) to mist over the outside fins on the back of the Refer.  That would help cool it! LOL

While it might work, unless the jets on the mister were very tiny (and subject to clogging from minerals unless distilled water were used), there would be excess moisture which would be likely to cause mold and other damage in the hot environment behind the refrigerator. It is probably good that the idea died. Wink

`You have done lots of complaining about your Pod, and I would encourage you not to wait.  I doubt you will be happy with it and will share your dislike all over again.  You have disliked the refrigerator, the water tank placement, and have stated that FR doesn't know how to make an RV.  I can't understand why you want to keep it any longer.

I can't understand your rage.  You mean you've never had a negative opinion on something or some features on something?  You're not welcome on here.  Go find someone else to annoy.

Hardly rage. Just tired of your constant whining.  I have been here far longer than you, and have not been asked to leave by anyone who matters, just you.

Truce gentlemen (and women)?

We can agree to disagree, but we need not get at each other's throats. Disapprove
