I have a Dometic Refer, can some of you folks out there tell me what the Temp. is in your Dometic Refer. We have our refer set on #4, that is next to the highest setting. Dometic is telling me that their Refers only cool to 40 degrees.

Read this article on venting of refrigerators, especially in slideouts. This could be your problem.
We have just begun loading and checking out our 2011 BH3670 and it appears that, in our model, this problem has been resolved, there is even a fan to blow the air around. There have been other threads regarding the refrigerator cooling problems.
A quick question regarding our refer unit... i picked up the camper today (it was in for repairs) we started up the frig on the gas mode and when we got to the C/G about 4 1/2 hours later - the temp was 46 deg. I then set the mode to electric, we put a few thing it the frig and we were in the frig about 1/2 dozen times while cooking dinner. within about 2 hours the temp went from 46 to 53 deg?? I just now turned it back on the gas mode to see if that would help? All last year and this year (until we took it in for repairs that had nothing to do with the refer) the frig worked great in the electric mode. Are we not allowing enough time to pass while in the electric mode?

Hi again, Tom.
I was glad to hear your A/C problems were resolved.
Temperature recovery on the refrigerators isn't great, and is hard to predict due to indoor humidity, and outdoor temperatures, etc. I've read where users have seen an hour to recover just from opening the door for a few seconds. Yours was none too cold to begin with at 46 degrees already. When you added stuff to the fridge and had the door open a half dozen times, I assume for more than few minutes to load your groceries, 6 degrees rise doesn't surprise me.
. The switchover from gas to electric shouldn't be noticeable, but I believe that gas operation is a little bit more efficient than electric.
I'd suggest you enjoy your trip and keep an eye on the temps to see what it does over the next couple days.
