Mine will typically hold that temperature, with frost on the cooling fins, on either A.C. or propane when it is 95 F ambient, if the van is in the shade. At 80 F ambient, it will be closer to 35 F in the refrigerator. But it will not do that on D.C., more like 42 or 43 F, and no frost at 95 F ambient. But then, on the highway, which is when it is on D.C., it is not in the shade. mcneely > > Geo/ATL -- David McNeely |
