A week  or 10 days? That could simply due to lack of propane. 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.
