Furrion 12-volt Fridge at Higher Altitudes Question

I know gas absorption fridges are less efficient when running on propane at altitudes above 5500 feet. But I'm currently using a Furrion 12-volt compressor fridge at about 8000 feet and it seems to run an unusually long time. Do higher altitudes impact this type of fridge?

Moved thread to the Appliances and Electronic sub-forum since the OP is asking an appliance question.

we had the furrion 12v in our 22RR and went out west last summer to TX, NM, and Monument CO. Fridge worked fine the entire time. Turned it on July 27th, and off September 1st.
