Impressive! Am i reading that right? After three hours, solely on propane, hardly any change in interior temperature, and you're almost at freezing? Any tips? Interior fan to circulate air or something? I can get that kind of cooling with shore power but propane takes longer - or so I assume since i haven't kept track like you did :) And I never use 12V.
