Refer cooling.... rear baffles and fans....any advice?
My refer struggles to stay cold when ambient temps reach 90F +. I researched and learned that baffles and fans help considerably.
Norcold (my refer is Model #N843). Norcold installation manual states there should be max 1" from rear of refer to side wall of RV. My refer did not come with fans.
My factory install has about 5"-6" between rear of refer and side wall. (see attached pic...this is taken looking up to roof event from base of refer)
Since RV manufacturer did not install baffles and refer did not come with fans, I figured I would install fans to move some air through the rear of my refer and fab up some baffles to get air passing more efficiently through the upper fins (condenser).
I would like to do these mods WITHOUT removing the refer.
Now, have any of you done these mods and can share tips, advice and pics. Pics are VERY helpful!
1. Fan selection, size, and placement (at top vent above condenser, below condenser, at base, etc).
2. Baffle material, placement and mounting.
3. ?????
Thanks!
