Temps were in the low to mid 90s for two days and it held below 40* except for a short while after putting some food in it. It then cooled back into the 30s. I hope it does this well next month in Myrtle Beach. We've been plagued with fridge problems in this unit.

UPDATE:
Got a call last Friday from my dealer stating that Dometic wanted to replace my fridge and was sending a new one. So this morning, I went back to the dealer and swapped out the 'new one from other 5er' for a new one from Dometic. This one came with a fan on the back. We'll see how it goes from here. Cannot say good enough things about my dealer on this issue. They have been great to deal with.

Could you post a pic of the fan and location? This is a mod I want to do. Thanks!

I should have, but now it's too late it's already in. It is just a small computer fan mounted above the coils with a temp sensor mounted at the top of the fridge. The dealer can get you the kit. I believe they are somewhere around $60 if you get it from them. The one they put in mine, now, is the same model I had, however made for a kitchen slide. All fridges in a slide have them. My dealer put a kit on my first fridge to help if it was a 'ventilation' problem. Took him about 20 minutes to get it in and wired up. Sorry for not taking pics...and I even had my phone on me at the time.

I'm glad everything worked out, it sounds like your dealer is a keeper.
Can you share who they are?

It is a family owned dealership in Georgia named Camper City. Located in Oakwood, GA. I have bought 2 new ones from them in the last 2 years. Nice people to deal with.
