Hi Mark . . . you have reminded me that we never got a response to this thread from Grand Design or Dometic confirming whether the upper baffle plate should be there or not. Also, no additional feedback from those who had this baffle removed at the Rally, as to whether it improved refrigerator performance or not. It would take some convincing to get me to believe that allowing airflow to bypass the cooling fins (ie remove the baffle plate) would improve cooling performance.
You do bring up something that I do not recall being part of the discussion in the past and that is the effect of humidity. If anything, I would have thought that higher humidity would improve heat transfer from the hot metal fins to the air passing over them . . . but, this is counter to what you have observed.

Hi Megan . . . can you follow-up with the right folks at Grand Design and with Dometic to get us the "factory" position on baffle or no baffle?
