Refrigerator cooling question
I have followed all the threads involving improving cooling on RV refrigerators. My Norcold is a constant problem to keep the temps at around 40 degrees. My question is in regards to installing ad...

I've got my fridge in the slide, so it has the top side vent. When I first fired up the fridge, it didn't cool that well, and that top vent area was really HOT running on gas or electric.
I got this dual fan setup and hacked it in. It has wired control unit to adjust the fan speed, set it on a timed run, or on all the time or auto which uses a temp sensor. Works great and I just put the control unit in the lower vent access as I didn't want to mess with cutting holes in the wall and once I set it on auto and the fridge is on, I just want it running anyway.
It does turn the fans off when the fridge cycles off, so that's 'cool'..
It runs on 12v and I just tapped into the 12v leads from the wiring to the fridge in the lower access.
I don't have an internal fan. Have not felt the need for that. Keeps the fridge and BEER nice and cold. In the 36-38* range, even on hot days.
Keeping the inside of the rig cool (running the A/C) helps a lot too.
Good luck! Mitch
