Sorry, this is simply not the case. We have camped many times for a week
or more in 90-100 degree weather and kept our food including milk fresh
for up to a week. That is with 4 different Dometic RM182 over the the
last 20 years in various vans. You do have to be smart about how you use
the things.

That's marginally adequate in 70 degree weather (like in the Black Forest), but not so good in about 45 of our states this time of year.  I installed extra fans inside and out after cleaning and resealing the firebox, etc. before taking it out and gaining much storage space.
