Last year I was researching my Class C's Elec/Propane fridge because in my opinion 3 days to cool was too long. One reoccurring problem I came across, while traveling and stationary, was the vent to the roof being obstructed and not allowing the generated heat to escape from behind the fridge. The issues found ran the spectrum from the simple (insulation falling into the vent cavity, to the complex (roof vent cover installed in the wrong location and blocking the vent cavity.
The solutions also ran the spectrum from the installation of vent fans in the fridge vent cavity or outside near the burner to reconfiguring or reconstructing the vent cavity itself.
It could be that while you are travelling the hot air that accumulates around the fridge is not being allowed to escape.
Just a thought.
