Adding fan behind refrigerator...worthwhile??
I have 3 RVs and I seem to be addicted to adding stuff to them....lol. They each have a standard Dometic 2852 absorption refrigerator. They seem to be working as expected. I did replace the cooling...

My motorhome never needed it. The heat easily rose up the vent and out. The fridge never had reduced cooling even in high temps.
With my trailer, it is vented out the side. The fridge cooling capabilities are significantly reduced in high temps. The fans are absolutely required - I also put a reflective window sheet on the wall below the vent to reduce the external heat.
If you have a significant difference in the fridge's cooling capabilities depending on external temps, then adding the fan may help. If there is no difference, then the fan is unnecessary.
