Installing optional (extra) cooling for camping within extreme hot temps is a good idea. Especially since most RVs are factory built for "average" temp ranges. If extreme hot temps, installing "more / extra" air flow cooling for the external fridge is a great idea.
If wondering, I installed a 12V computer fan with manual off/on switch (with inline fuse) on my TT as well. For it, I simply plastic pull-tied the compuer an to its rear cooling coil. On extreme hot temp days, I turn this 12V fan ON. One can also install a 12V fan within its roof top venting lid (at top of its vertical flu) on a 12V manual switch as well. Note: I have it on manual off/on switch to turn off at night - to allow the over sensitive ears on my wife to sleep at night. LOL!!!
Another idea is to buy "store bought" and simply bolt it on. I hear store bought fan systems (12V rear cooling &/or solar power for roof top) work great as well. For more detals, surf: - Click Here -
IMO, additonal cooling (on its rear coils and vertical flu) should be factory build. After this simply DIY mod, my RV's fridge now runs less often during extreme hot temps - because it's now getting extra cooling during those extreme hot days. For my TT, this MOD was well worth it....
