Vent refrigerator with cool inside air?
Have a dometic fridge located in the middle of the trailer. Underneath is a 4x10 intake vent with the exhaust coming out the roof. We are not of sane mind and go camping in temps that can reach 12...

Just adding fans to the existing fridge vent should do the trick, without having to use your cool inside air.
The hot outside air doesn't circulate through the coils as well as cold air does. Since the air is already hot going in, it doesn't get much lift being heated by the fridge coils, in order to vent out the roof.
Adding some computer fans blowing out the roof vent should help that convection do its thing. Look for high static pressure fans, their blade design works better to move air through the roof vent.
