Travel trailer fridge

My trailer is 30amp and I have it plugged into my garage outlet. (20amp outlet) The lights work inside trailer, both fridges are on inside and the one outside. They been running for about 2 days now, I have them turn on the coldest setting. But for some reason it feels like they are not very cold?
Is this do to it not being plug directly into a 30amp service?

Thank you for your help

How are you judging cold. An empty fridge does not necessarily feel cold. Put a thermometer in it and check it. When checking a fridge, it is best to have some items in it to get cold. A fridge works by removing heat energy. That energy needs a place to go somewhwre ( mass) an empty fridge has no real mass to absorb the heat.

Put a Soda or a Beer in there and see how cold it gets. or get a meat thermometer and check the temp.
