Those are two different things... What we DON'T have is a defrost cycle.
That is exactly true. On a residential fridge the defrost cycle is a timer that shuts off the freezer unit and slowly heats the coils to defrost them. The water is then channeled away.
A fan is simply going to blow warm air over the RV fins. That is all. Short term that is more then enough to give the impression you have a defrost fridge. Long term in a humid area all you're going to get is an extended time before you need to defrost the fridge for real.
RV fridges are not frost free. Fans do cycle the air for a more even temp within any fridge.
