I think it's around 120 deg., so with the ambient being 114 yesterday, and a
fair amount of insulation in there, that sounds pretty normal.

Try to keep the drivers side out of the sun when parking.  It'll help a bit.

Subject: Fridge Fan Running

> Howdy,
> Just a quick question.  My van stays parked with drivers side facing full
arizona sun on ocassion and yesterday when i went to drive it, the fan on
the fridge was running.  After driving around for a while, the fan was still
running.  it wasn't until later that night when t he fan finally shut off.
Now, obviously the fan is thermostatically controlled, but is it normal to
come on in this situation?  Any suggestions?
