same here, i love our RV (propane / ac volt) fridge...

might be a different story if we were full time, but it keeps plenty of food cold for us even on a trip that lasts several weeks.

I installed an ARP emergency (over temp) shut off - the ARP measures the temperature of the (ammonia boiler) and kills the power to the fridge if it gets over 420* (f). This is the #1 source of Fridge fires and probably RV fires.

I also installed Fridge Fix RV fan system (blows air across the cooling fins) to prevent icing....ive left the fridge running for more than 8 weeks (in humid temperatures) and not had any ice build up.

I tried a competitive solution from RV cooling unit warehouse....it didn't work nearly as well as the Smart RV Products unit.
