Here's some photos. You can see the difference in size between a standard
cheap 120mm fan and these rather pricey 100mm replacements.

I got them all hooked up and Rita and I pushed and grunted and managed
to get that thing back in the cabinet one more time. It's a really tight fit
on the sides and of course it doesn't scoot very easy once it's started
into the opening.

After everything was hooked up I went up on the roof to check for air flow
and to re-attach the top vent cap.
ONE OF THE FANS ISN'T TURNING!!! @#$%^*
I've got no idea why. I'm positive they are all hooked up. They all turned
freely. I managed to stick a long wire down from the top and spin the
dead fan and it turns freely.
I must just be a DOA fan.
I can feel a breeze coming up and out the top vent with just the 2 smaller fans running but it was supposed to be 3!!!

I can't do anything about it now. When we get back from this Natchez Trace trip I'll notify Amazon that one of the fans is defective. ARGH!!

It was 90 yesterday when I turned the refer back on.
It was a cool night tho. Anyway with NO roof AC running the refer was
32 inside this morning. I'd say it was a partial test because it did get fairly
cool last night. I'll know more after our trip. I'm sure we'll encounter some
warm/hot weather in LA and MS.

Here's some photos...

That is a nice elegant installation.

Could it be a bad connection or are all three of them connected together in the same connection? If you are sure, Id tell Amazon right now to get a replacement coming and have it waiting when you get home.

To get it to slide easier go to a local cabinet maker and get two strips of scrap plastic laminate countertop material (Formica). Set two strips where the reefer feet will slide on them and it will make sliding it in and out much easier.

It's going to be close to 90 this afternoon then cooler (at last) for the next
several days.
I'll see if the refer stays in the low 30s this afternoon with the trailer
closed up and no roof AC running.

I'm as sure as I can be the connections were secure. Yes they are all
connected in parallel. One wire nut for 3 red and one side of the lamp
cord and 3 black and the other lamp cord on the other side.
All carefully twisted then screwed then zip tied. I guess I'll contact Amazon
just so I do eventually get a replacement. Even if it arrives by Saturday I'm
not gonna pull that thing out again just yet.

I sure would like to put this behind me!
