Lance versus Arctic Fox, fridge in wall slide?

Currently have a hard side Lance, looking to upgrade to a slide unit. Most lances are just dinette slides, but the Arctic Fox have the full wall slide with the fridge in it.

I'd like the full wall slide, but concerned with fridge performance in the slide, using the side vent instead of the overhead. How is it? Anything to worry about?

Thanks for the help,

If both are adhered to then no reason fridge can not cool as per design specs


Thanks. Are these fans installed from factory, or are these the add-ons I'll need to install?


RV MFG has to 'option' the external fan(s)....Fridge Mfg doesn't know what RV MFG is going to install them in
In a Slide...Fan(s) needed

What brand/model is fridge?
Is it time for your medication or mine?

We had a 2008 Lance 1181 with the fridge in the slide the fan ran most of the time but in 4 yrs we never had an issue with it. Myself I kind of like the 1140 AF with the bigger fridge I think its on the drivers side though not in the slide like the 1150.
