My fridge works just fine at 81 F cabin temps. The sliding window behind the fridge does a good job venting the fridge heat, no need for the skylight.
Sorry, OK, 81 F is when it quits working. I never did take the exact temp reading I was just guessing off the top of my head which has few hairs left for data retention. Anyways, still a piss poor design in my view. Yes leaving the side slider window open does help. BUT, why would you vent that heat into the cabin in the first place ? Get it outside and be done with it !
