                Cooling to 40 degrees is pretty good if measured like I
described. Does it hold
                this temp for several hours during a warm day? Cleaning the
burner and flue vents
                is helpful if the fridge won't light or goes out often. It
won't really help
                cooling performance much. Cooling is dependent on how much
propane is burned, the
                sealing of the fridge door, and the fan behind the fridge
operating correctly with
                clear cooling vent areas.

                I have only used the fridge in my Westy once. It was slow
cooling but after a day of alternating between 12V, AC,  and primarily
propane, it cooled pretty well. However, I never heard a fan come on -
should I be able to hear a fan or feel a fan when the van is plugged in or
running on 12V. I assume it doesn't run during propane usage.

                TIA.
