Like a few folks, I bought / installed "silent" 12V computer fans and installed on my RV's rear fridge coils as well. Simply buy and attach using plastic pull ties. For my setup, I installed with manual OFF/ON switch. My wife likes to turn off at night - since silent is only near silent (and sound does travel at sleep time). For my next RV, I'd do this install again. For my setup, 12V computer fans push fresh air around its coils. It gets air moving and does keep its rear cavity slightly cooler.
Knowing what I know today and for my future RV, I would also install a 12V thermostat controlled fan within its roof vent area. Thus, sucking hot air within its cavity up / out its top vent. This spring, I plan to buy a bundled product (re: large size fan, manual off/on switch and thermostat system) and install on my RV's flu).

Do shop around because selling prices do dramatically vary.
Long mumblings short... Do both upgrades. re: Simple 12V computer fan on the rear coils, and fan in the vent flu area (to suck the circulating hot air up / out its roof vent).
Hope this helps..
