On my previous RVs I added interior evaporator fans (2) and also added 2 computer style fans to the back of fridge area to push/pull air up and out of roof fridge vent.
Did part of that (only one or two fans computer type pushing)
When after oh about 13-14 years the cooling unit failed (Not related at all) and we had to replace the unit the RV tech pointed to a small amount of "Stuff' that had collected on the bottom of the heat exchanger fins (The radiator like part at the top of the fridge on teh outside of the housing) and said the fans make that worse.
NOTE: I did not think it was all that bad but she did.
(A blow with oh. perhaps a hair dryer set on COOL, down through the top of the fridge with the access panel, roof cap and fans all off (Turned off in the case of the fans) should blow the crud down and out.. Or you could use a low pressure tanked compressor.. There was not a lot of crud there)
