I had cooling issues with my Norcold fridge on a recent trip. The fridge side of the trailer was in the hot afternoon sun every day but the prevailing winds (daily) blew on that side of the trailer as well.
I removed the small plastic tabs that hold the the fridge covers on and replaced them with zip ties creating a hinge effect and the propped the covers out away from the trailer with short sticks (as I was parked for 3 weeks). They were able to deflect any rain that might have occurred.
Dramatic difference in cooling. I actually had to turn the fridge to a setting that did not freeze items in the fridge area.
It's almost worth a look at having powered louvers for fridge vents available on future campers,at least I think so.
