Hi,
If you already have a factory install fan with a T stat at the top area and you are getting that bad of cooling as described above, the bell goes off in my head something else is not right.
A question,
Is your fridge installed in a slide or other place where the top air vent is in a side wall and not up at the roof line?
I have seen some real bad wall side vent setups that rob the efficiency of the fridge. The OEM of the camper did not follow the instructions Dometic states on how to create the air path/ductwork out a side wall vented fridge setup. The air flow gets all bogged down trying to get out of a improper damper/duct setup above the fridge. Just putting a fan up top to help for a bad duct install, does not always fix the root problem.
By chance, if yours is in a side wall, can you post pics with the top vent removed so we can see the top of the fridge and how the directed the air to get out of the cabinet?
Hope this helps,
John
