The Westy fridge can and often does work well. The poor cooling on propane is usually caused by one or more of 3 things. 1. cooling fan not cycling due to bad switch or bad fan 2. propane pressure too low, bad adjustment of regulator or bad regulator 3. fridge burner jet and/or burner tube partially plugged Both of my Westy fridges ice up inside running on propane even in 100 degree weather.
