While I am out there working, I will pay attention to how often it cycles and it does not cycle anymore than my indoor fridge. And it is practically empty, so its not maintaining the cold due to there being alot of frozen items.

    So with that being said, I do not see it having to work much harder when ambient temps are in the 90's, unless it is horribly insulated.
