That sounds close to mine on a hot day.

Nobody has posted how HOT the fridge can get the inside of the van. I
had the van parked in 80-degree sunshine and in 45 minutes the heat from
the fridge (all windows closed) heated the van up to 100 degrees inside.

I summized it is good practice to open the windows when the fridge is
running when parked.
