Norcold N821 Fridge not getting cold enough

I have a Norcold fridge and it isn't getting colder than 44 degrees.

I've tried changing from LP to AC and back again

I've tried changing the temp. Normally 5 is perfect but now 6-9 isn't getting things any colder.

Any ideas before my food spoils?

Welcome barney _g to irv2.
Has your fridge ever had cold temp or is it because of hot summer you have notice the change?
Is your fridge on a slide with a vent at top and bottom of slide and not a roof vent?

Thanks for the quick reply 007

Well...it is pretty hot where I am currently, Las Vegas. The fridge always worked well before this trip.

It's installed in a non-movable wall (1999 Itasca Suncruizer) with a lower (side) vent and a top roof vent.

Do you have a fan 12v or 110 that you can place in the bottom vent opening and point it up towards the top of vent opening?
This will be a temp fix.
This thread will explain what you may need to do.
