The freezer stays below freezing but it rises from 17 to 22 and then drops to 8 by morning. I'm thinking it is blowing out while under tow. I did not have this issue until I did the fridge fix with the silicone.

Jim, buy a cheap home A/C filter, tear it apart, carefully peel a thin layer of the filtering medium off, and zip tie it to the inside of the vent. This does not restrict air flow substantially but it does seem to alleviate blow out.

Edit: Oops. Just read the Fridge Fun Again thread and saw you are already considering this "fix."

I purchased a piece of furnace filter to cut but decided not to install after (1) seeing that it burns when exposed to open flame and (2) my vent openings are all messed up, may need a new refer vent cover. This maybe the issue, but still probing. If I did use the furnace filter I would install it underneath the Camco metal bug screens as a safety precaution.
