How to keep fridge cooler?
I noticed over memorial day the fridge was slow to cool down after constant usage (and kids) when the temps were in the 90s. On my pop-up I was able to put 2 computer fans on the coils and it helped ...

Well, stopped by my local best buy and they only had some crappy fans. I grabbed a couple anyways. There's a computer repair place down the street from my house so I stopped in there to check out what they had. They had 2 cooler master fans that push almost 70 cfm each. They only had 2 in stock though. I grabbed them and use one of the cheap best buy ones (40 cfm). There was a 12 volt source right at the bottom vent so no problem there.
Rigged up a couple brackets and wala. 3 fans sucking the heat right out. It's not pretty, but it's only temporary. When the shop gets a couple more fans in I may run 4 of the same brand and actually spend a couple minutes on the brackets.
buttoned it all up and I can feel the air sucking from the bottom vent. I am not sure how much air I really need moving, but it's not bad now. I will eventually put a switch/control knob on the side of the fridge cabinet for more control. It will do for a quick fix for now. The Best Buy fan barely moves any air compared to the cooler master ones. I will def. be upgrading that one when the time comes.
