We are new to RV lifestyle with our 2023 BT 5210. Our fridge does not get cold in a reasonable time. I welcome your comments 😎 Carol
 
That seems to be an issue with the ammonia refrigerators. They also have issues keeping cold on very hot or cold days. There is an after market fan to move air behind the frig. This helps.
We changed ours to a 12 volt Norcold unit and have never looked back. Full disclosure we had to remove the rear door to do this.

There is a lot on the internet about helping absorption refrigerators cool better. There is a video on adding fans to the front and back to help cooling.
