A colleague was scrapping an old computer in the winter and I grabbed the fan to fit in the caravan. Last year I fitted one fan to cool the fridge and it wasn't that effective. This year with two fans it kept the fridge in the 'green' on the thermometer
(about 8 deg. C) despite the outside and inside air temperature reaching 35 degrees yesterday and today (in Italy).

 I am really pleased with this cheap and effective fix. The fans are fitted inside the fridge exhaust vent on our Bailey Unicorn Valencia as this is easier than on the inlet. All it needs is a wooden batten, glue gun, an in-line fuse and cabling to a 12
volt plug which runs behind the parallel seating and is largely hidden. Total cost zero as I had all the bits lying around. OH is really pleased that we have an effective fridge in hot weather for the first time in three years.
