Lightbulb Add a fan....

Bob,

I have heard of people adding a small DC fan to blow up from the bottom of the fridge coils up to keep the circuilation going.

This helps them cool better. You may try it as an experiment. Put a switch on it and it it works you could add a small thermostat to it to have it automatic.

Let us know if you try it.

A side note, I had my new Dometic fridge working in 100 degree heat and it had to be turned up all the way to keep the temp down. But it did work.

These things do not appear to operate like a home style fridge.

For example, in the mountains the setting that keep the fridge just right during the day froze the orange juice during the night into slush.

You think for the price of these things they would operate better than that.
