    Dave from the RV cooling Unit Warehouse said the below fan is the one I need. Emailed him today with the picture of my fridge sticker with the question and 30 or so minutes later he responded.

    "The 15 3/4 inch wide is the one we have for RM1350"

    So I bought it today we shall see

    So we got ours hooked up and it worked great this trip...Low 90's in the day low 60's at night and the fridge was set on 3.......Kept the Refrigerator between 35-37 even with all the door opening......Usually we had to have our fridge on 5 to keep it at 37-38 in this weather. We did take pictures during installed so later we will update this post with pictures.....Not hard at all maybe 45 minutes...

    If your refrigerator is located in a slide, the fridge will already have a fan--because there is no chimney overhead to vent the air naturally. The air goes out a side vent on the slide.

    I guess if you're having cooling problems, you could always add a second fan. You wouldn't believe how much heat RV refrigerators put out in the Summer.

    Grand Design installs a small diagonal piece of plywood on top of the evaporator coils pointed toward the upper slide vent. Hot air still remains all around the refrigerator, however. You'll hear some complain about how hot their cabinet sides will be. I completely rebuilt my venting and reinsulated the top of my vents. The OEM fan works just fine.

    My fridge is on a slide. When I pulled the upper exterior vent cover off, I found there is a metal flashing or flue instead of plywood.

    Add-on-fridge fan

    So adding the fans inside the fridge was not that hard. We followed the crappy directions about placement and cleaning the fins.....We sent the wiring through the drain hole and out the back side on the fridge. Our drain tube had a knot in it and I had to untie it so the wire would come out. The tube is longer than the wire so I needed to cut about 8 inches off and slice up the tube so I could add the electrical attachments and have enough play to plug into the 12 volt relay, ground screw and still have enough tubing to go outside the vent cover to drain. Once done I was scratching my head because I had no volts going to the relay....After thinking about it for a few I realized I needed to turn on the fridge inside and we were golden. All the fans work and that cool little blue LED does too.

    The last picture is the electrical hook ups. The fan's wiring are the thin red and black wires. Hope this helps....

    Tony, i saw an old post on the fans you installed. I have been looking at the same set up but want to see how well this has been working for you. It looks like you installed them almost two years ago.
    Great pictures and instructions by the way!
