I previously had an Outback 312BH and never had a problem with the 1 AC and Dometic fridge. I upgraded this last week to a Montana High Country. We have this to live in full time. Our refriderator (4 door) is located in a slide out and stays above 40 degrees F. The freezer is not freezing our ice trays. Also, we have dual AC's. The temp in our trailer does not go below 80 duruing the day with both running wide open. Is this normal? Ive tried to speak with my dealer but they are taking forever to get back with me. Any help would be appriciated!

You might try to have a look at the ductwork and its connections to the A/C unit. Sometimes, sloppy installation illustrated by gaps and/or loose connections results in cold air being blown into the attic instead of the RV's interior. Remove the interior "cover" and have a look-see.

X2 what Festus2 said. Also, the in-slide refrigerators do not have top roof venting like non-slide I ones do. The top vent is on the slide exterior wall and requires fan(s) to help move the hot air out the side. It could be that your fan(s), which are thermostatically operated may not be working properly. I can hear my fan kickon when ever the sun is hitting the exterior wall or when Temps are above 75f or so.
I have read this problem in forums many times, it seems the consensus is to add more or better fans.

Thanks for th me advice. I put a small fan on the bottom vent to push the air through, seems to help. Still hot as hades inside during the day.
