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.
