on a recent 2,500 mile trip, weather mostly in mid-80s but climbing into 90s at times, fridge kept everything nice n' frosty, especially soft drinks. it, too, ran pretty continuously except at night when temps were cooler. suggest maybe your fridge door may not be sealing completely or, perhaps, there's too much stuff in there and fridge can't deal with it all. by the way, that laughably tiny ice cube tray -- good for about one martini, straight up with an olive -- really does produce ice cubes. cheers, art mcginn '82 westy
