  • We bought a Camco fan and have used it on the last two trips we've been on. It does help move air to the bottom of your refrigerator you just have to leave room for the air to circulate. This fan seemed to have better reviews than the others I looked at the only negative thing is it doesn't have a on and off switch you have to remove the batteries which really isn't a big deal.
  • I've used one since 1978 and believe it makes my RV fridge work as well as the home fridge.
  • I have a very inexpensive plastic fan that runs off 2 D batteries and it really does keep air moving. Anything to give better circulation will help the fridge run better and more consistent. I think I paid about $15 for it ten years ago.

  • The general consensus is that they do, however most seem to subscribe (myself included) that fans mounted in the rear of the fridge externally and/or at the top of the vent stack will yield better results. My personal setup is two computer fans on the fridge roof vent sucking hot air out and a Valterra fan below blowing hot air up to the computer fans.

    Do ya have thermoters in your fridge/freezer? I have small digital ones that I picked up at a local Wally World.
