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...

Is that common to switch to a residential fridge? In my brief amount of time learning about RV absorption refers i thought theyre made of steel, no moving parts, and better suited to bounce down the highway compared to a residential fridge.
Any chance someone has a basic spec for how much air would naturally flow through the vents using convention only? I dont have to use a fan. Could vent to the cabin and let it flow naturally. Whats the deal is that a propane hazard? Probably so. Trailer has a propane detector. Should test it with a weed burner.
Or maybe its better to mount a stronger fan outside the rig. Will be blowing 110F+ air, but lots more of it. Will try that method first before cutting into the duct. If we are out there and fridge cant stay below 40F then i might tin snip a hole right there while camping.
