What kind of power is the fridge on? Needs to be shore power or propane.

IIRC my RPOD fridge would only maintain 40 degrees F below outside ambient. Looks like you're 5 degrees to the good.

Here is a schematic of the Dometric RM-8501 showing the 2 fans. They are controlled by a thermal switch mounted on the condenser coil.

Mine stayed in the upper 30's even in hot temps. Same for my current fridge.

Was this accessible from the outside or did you have to pull out the fridge? Any before/after pictures?
