Fridge Performance

So I ran my fridge on DC for about 4 hours today, the fins were cool,
but the fridge was not cold yet... should I expect better?

I thought so.
Before I intend to leave with a cold fridge, I'll plug in the shoreline
overnight and turn the dial to about the 7 o'clock position. By morning the fridge
will be between 30 and 40 degrees.

Camping and some RV stores carry a really neat little fan to circulate the
air inside the fridge.
It runs for weeks on just two D size batteries. I place it below the cooling
fins.

I also place drink cans on the bottom with 3-4, 'molded for cans' blue ice
that has been in the freezer. They will keep the entire fridge cool even if
power should fail.

While highway driving I switch the fridge to DC, just to maintain the cool.

Once at my destination, I'll either plug into a 110v source or run the fridge
on propane.

On DC??

What vehicle do you have?

If it's an EVC, the DC mode will only maintain the fridge which is already cold.
The DC mode is used primarily while driving to keep the already cold fridge cold.
In DC mode, without the engine running and recharging it, even a brand new fully charged coach battery will only cool the fridge for a couple of hours.

If I can't plug into a 110v source, I use propane to cool the fridge.

On propane the fridge will prabaly take 12 hours to get cold-It should be
faster on 110.
I have driven with the refer li for years with no problems. DISCLAIMER--DO
SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
