This should be the first mod on any camper. It is hugely popular on pop-ups since they have the side vents which don't promote very good air flow. I then got a TT with top vent and it was fine as long as temperatures were below 85. What I did was put 3 x 120MM computer fans on the top of the vent opening to draw air from down low.
It is on a switch and speed control. On those hot days, I flip the switch and run at full blast. This weekend it was 98 degrees out and no shade. It kept the fridge @ 30 degrees. I just replaced 2 of the cheaper fans this year. $26 from best buy and I was back in action. I put it on a speed control for when we are without power but I want a little air flow without maximum draw.

I found a guy on YouTube last year that had done a refrigerator made d of add 2 12 inch fans to the upper slide vent. I bought them on amazon and did the mod. They are very quiet and even have blu led lights that let you know when they are on. GD blocks off over half of the upper vent with a piece of wall board to direct the air over the coils. I pulled the board out and installed the 2-12 inch fans. If you look on YouTube for a guy doing a refrigerator mod on a truck camper it is very detailed. Seems to have really helped our cooling.

Hey Ace, Here ya go !!

This is a rather large fan but I intend to mount it to the top frame of the lower vent and wire it directly to 12 output so it runs continuously.
Thanks to Gene and Kim above... I know how to do so !!!!
42 cfm is some serious movement of air and I've already sealed off the frig baffle completely, (to incorporate the frig top as well), so there is nowhere for hot air to go but OUT !!
My purpose is to PUSH air UPWARDS over the coils to remove as much heat as possible, so I've chosen this turbo design for directional functionality.
As stated, 61 dB-A wont be as quiet as a computer fan but its location at the rear end of my coach (307 MKS) that's NOT on a slide, hopefully shouldn't affect the interior quiet much.
Hope this helps !!!

Most dealers don't tell their customers that rv refrigerators will go into defrost mode every 48 hours. When this happens the refrigerator will not run for 2 hours. It's important to reset the refrigerator at night so in 48 hours the fridge will go into defrost mode at night. The manufacturers don't give the option to manually pick when to go into defrost mode. I've ordered a fan for the inside of my refrigerator that mounts to the fins. This will circuit the air inside. It's made especially for the 4 door dometic. If you want the link let me know.

I’ll not lie it was a pain getting that wood panel out, but it will come out. The fans I bought off Amazon are EN55642, and I bought 2. They tyrap directly to your vent. I put a little spacer on the bottom so it would blow down. The guy on YouTube is Charles Coushaine and it is under How to add Refrigerator Venting to an RV.
