I installed the fridge baffles/chimney as close as possible to the Norcold instructions within the limits of the structure of the GMC. Some of the angles are not optimal due to the curved sides etc, but it seems to work well. I also installed a pair of 12v computer fans in the roof vent and powered them with a small solar panel. That way it doesn't draw any battery power and it works when needed in bright sunlight during the hottest part of the day. This set-up seems to work well even on the hottest Summer days.
I also use a battery powered circulating fan inside the fridge, which definitely helps on the really hot days. The combination allows me to freeze water bottles for hiking, and make ice for drinks etc. along with keeping the food frozen.
