This can be exaggerated in cold weather, which tends to inhibit the propane from evaporating. My fridge works great right after a fresh fill of propane. As it starts getting towards the end of the tank, it starts having trouble cooling, even if there is enough propane for the stove (for a little while longer).
Kim, propane is full or nearly full and the regulator is new, Maybe Loren's right, it has something to do with all of us being at BBB Lake Havesu in the middle of January ! BTW, I lit the propane a few hours ago then turned off the 110. Rita & I had diner then a walk down the beach, maybe three ~ four hours. When I checked the fridge the propane was lit but the temp was going down inside, fins getting warm. I now have the 110 and propane working at the same time. Will see in the morning what's up.
