Jen057,

Will you be dry camping or will you have shore power connected? If you'll be using shore power and your TM has the fridge fan, just run that to help keep the fridge cooler. From reading the about the power ventilator it works very similar to the current TM fridge fan. The difference is TM located the fan at the bottom of the fridge compartment at the end of a very flimsy dryer hose. The hose is to help pull the hot air out thru from the upper section of the compartment and port/dump it out under the TM.
When I took a good look at the way my hose is run, the top portion was tilted/flattened so I adjusted it and added a part of an old plastic container to open it as much as possible to reduce any reduction in air flow out. I taped it up and reconnected it using an angle bracket that lowered it a bit from the top part of the compartment. Never did any tests on the before or after airflow, but the last time I was camping I kept that fan running early in the morning until it was night and my fridge did stay cooler.
I also made an aux fan for inside the fridge to keep the cool air moving, which seems to help also.
