Jeff, It should be noticably cooler in a half hour, or so, on propane. Do you see a pilot light in the little hole in the bottom inside left corner of the fridge on? Does the fridge led light up on the control panel? Have you tried plugging into 110 VAC to see if it works on household AC? The battery will not cool very well if you turn it on when warm. The best performance from the battery is achieved by "pre-cooling" with 110 AC or by running on propane. Best bring the beers over to my house for safe keeping 'till you get the fridge working! %-) Hope this helps. 'Greg '87 Vanagon GL Camper 'Govinda' - fresh from the body shop
