Refrigerators in the heat
We are camping in extreme heat in Arizona. Is it better to use LP gas or electric to keep the refrigeration cold?

I found an area toward the bottom of the cooling unit where I could simply wedge a 92mm 12VDC computer cooling fan. Since they're so small, I zip tie two together to make a side-by-side pair of fans and cram them in place. They don't last long in our salty humid environment so I buy them by the box. Walmart had a box of four that I couldn't find last time, so I bought a box of five from Amazon. Works out to $2-3 per fan. First time, I bought them at the computer store, about $6 a fan, and those didn't last any longer.
What they DO, and seem to do well, is keep a convection going in the chase behind the Norcold N811 fridge. We don't have slides, and it seems having a roof vent is better for fridge cooling than the wall vents in slides.
We get along OK on electric, but I'm keeping the 112VAC bogey (Thanks, Doug!)in mind now.
