Adding fan behind refrigerator...worthwhile??
I have 3 RVs and I seem to be addicted to adding stuff to them....lol. They each have a standard Dometic 2852 absorption refrigerator. They seem to be working as expected. I did replace the cooling...

One side benefit of having a mask with fans at the top is reduced air flow in the winter. This helps prevent the fridge from freeze up, but is not enough to assure it.
I do know that without the fans first cycle from ambient (65 f) was about 8 hours on electric. After the fans that dropped to about 4 hours.
I have an adjustable thermostat which I tweaked over several trips.

FWIW, I feel that having fans at the top, and setting it up so they work to pull air through the coils, will inhibit the air flow if the fans aren't running, so you'd have to run the fans all the time. It may work more efficiently, but IMO the fans would have to run constantly to keep temperatures down. I have my fans down at the bottom just for that reason.
