Noisy Refrigerator Vent Fan

[rseagle]

OK, let's do some Brainstorming here.

We like to Boondock and enjoy the peace and quiet of our favorite secluded mountain campground in the Summer. I'm afraid, that the noisy refrigerator vent fan in our 22' CCD is going to drown out the natural sounds we travel so far to hear. Our first trailer, an SOB, had a vent stack to the roof with no fan. It was dead quiet so we could hear the stream, Whip-Poor-Wills at dusk, Cicadas, wind through the trees, etc. You get the picture.

I've read of retrofitting the 12v fan with a 24v fan, which rotates at a slower RPM, but twice the Amps. It still makes noise.

I'd thought of fabricating a 4-6' metal or plastic vent stack that could be temporarily attached to the CCD when we get to the campground that would draw out the hot air behind the refrigerator. Is this practical? Could it work like my SOBs stack, so that the fan's thermostat would keep it from coming on?

Any other ideas from you "Out of the Box" thinkers out there?

Thanks,

Bob
