1. I have a thermostatically controlled condenser fan. Require by Mfgr when frig is horizontally vented. When it failed last year, the frig worked fine while traveling but failed with a "No Cooling" error each time I stopped for a couple of hours. I replaced the failed fan and added a second manually controlled fan as a backup. They help.
2. I bought the small double evaporator fan that clips on the aluminum fins. It blows air toward the cooling fins. It helps keep the frig at a more even temp but I found it a pain in the... Items in the frig hit the fan and caused problems. The battery powered camco used 2 D batteries and last a month or two. Sits on the shelf blowing air up and I've found it does as good a job. And items touching it are no problem.
3. When I was investigating the fan issue, I did find one that mounted on the inside roof of the frig, sucked air in the bottom and blew air out the back which then traveled down through the cooling fins. I believe it was $60. Search the internet. The $12 battery powered on the shelf model works well and made the wife happy.
4. I haven't experimented with it, but I think that once everything in the frig is cold, the cooling capability can offset an air dump within reason, especially with the fan running. It circulates the warmer air and cools it quicker than convection.
That being said, I don't think any frig can offset the door holding capability of young kids and... some adults.
