Refrig Not Cooling on Propane

We are traveling and are far from home. First time boondocking discovered refrig wasn't cooling when running on propane. Many dollars later same situation. Works great on electric. I can see blue flame when on propane.

Would take it to FR dealer for warranty work if they could get me in before August!

Our trip plans include boondocking so either need to figure this out or, sadly, return home.

Any suggestions?

We bought our Class C Forester 3 months ago and it's only been used about 1 month.

Your Refer is covered by the MFG,any Repair/Service center that is a "Authorized Center for your MFG Refer will/should work on it "N/C" war! Maybe where/How it is installed will require a "Wind Baffle"? Youroo!!

Thanks youroo. I'll check on that.

Realized it wasn't cooling even on electric before we left home. dealer solved problem by inserting baffles that weren't there and for some reason removing thermostat and reinstalling improperly with bailing wire and tape near fins. So far have paid to have thermostat installed properly and fuse replaced. That made it work great on electric. Mobile Rv guy has given up.
