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...

Thinking about using the 4' opening with a small computer fan to blow cool air into the fridge duct. With a baffle maybe to close it off. Or just a vent cover that can close.
I did something similar with my Class A's residential fridge.
I got the idea when I was camped in a Texas campground for a month. The fridge side of my RV got the full force of the sun most of the day and the fridge temp increased towards 40 degrees during that time. BTW, I monitor my fridge temps.
So I cut a hole behind my fridge that led into the RV and added some fans in the old fridge roof vent. Now cool inside air flowed up behind my fridge and out through the roof.
Worked like a charm.
