Try it first on 120v. The little munchkin ice trays should freeze
overnight. The interior should get down to about 42 degrees, lay a little
thermometer on wire shelf.
The 12v cycle only works with the ignition on so it can only be checked
after a good 4 hour run.
I use a cardboard center out of a roll of pager towels to look down at
the tiny light that stays lit all the time it is running on LP fuel.
The fridge works best on LP fuel and should run 10 days on the 2.75
gallons of LP.
The addition of a little computer fan helps circulate air and enhanse the
performance of the fridge.
