I Want To Install a 12 Volt Fan And Thermostat In My RV's Refrigerator

I have a 12 volt fan I would like to install to aid in refrigerator cooling. the fridge is a Dometic
Thank You
ANSWER: Hi Joe thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.
You are probably going to be surprised by the answer I give you. I would not go to the trouble of doing what you are planning on doing.
I, like a lot of RVers keep the air circulating in my RV's Fridge/Freezer by using a couple of battery operated Fridgemate Fans
. I just set the refrigerator thermostat to the temperature I want to maintain and place a Fridgemate fan in the refrigerator and the freezer and I have never had a problem maintaining the proper temperature even on the hottest of days.The Fridgemate
requires two D cell Batteries and they run a long time without having to be changed. This way I do not have to try and tap into a 12 volt DC source in the fridge.Now if you really want to help increase the efficiency of your RV's refrigerator you would be better served by installing a Fridge Vent Exhaust Fan
. These exhaust fans remove heat build-up in condenser fins, allowing more efficient operation and they are Thermostatically controlled to go on and off at the proper temperatures. Depending on the model you get they can be connected to the RV's 12 volt system or some also come with their own small solar panel and do not draw any power from your RV.Join the Good Sam Club Today!

I hope this helps.
Happy RVing
