I find that when its�95 outside�my westys fridge stays about 40-45 and I have the 2 ice cube trays that always have Ice in them. I love it. When I go on a�good camping trip we also take a colmen cooler for the extra seat and extra food (beer and soft drinks). I have thought about taking the fridge out for the extra storage. But we get by.....

The fridge would be about the last thing about the camper I'd want to
give up. It's very seldom below 90 here for most of the hot part of
the summer, but you just have to help it out all you can. Parking in
the shade and having the fridge in top-notch shape helps. I find a 40
degree difference between ambient and fridge temp, but even that it is
a welcome difference and if you plan around it it's a big help.
