Crazy fridge

So we're out last week and everything is going well for the fridge. 6 days in we discover it is at 40°from overnight. We were on a 30 amp service. Everything else is OK (a/c, 120v outlets etc). Happened to be leaving that day so we switched to propane (heard it fire right up) and temp was normalized after 4 hr trip home. Am I doing something wrong? Should I switch to propane every few days for a day or so? Or is something wrong with fridge?

Sorry, all my ohms and voltage readings seem appropriate as far as what tech at dealer told me

Could the power at the campsite have gone out overnight?

We have a fridge that 'looks' closed, but you have to push on it to get a tight seal. If the seal isn't tight, ours loses cold like crazy.

Power definitely did not go out. I have to use a sleep apnea machine and would have realized immediately. I'll have to check on the seal. Certainly possible that a kid didn't close it tight if it's that picky.

It's absolutely "that picky". A fridge door
that is not closed completely absolutely latched tight is NOT going to cool properly.
Some folks find their refer runs a little better on LP and some find it's a little better on 120 AC. We'll guess yours just
wasn't closed that night.
Keep an eye on it next time and don't stress unless it happens again.
Happy Trails!
