Does anyone have a thermostat switch installed to control when the fans are on? My concern is power draw if dry camping. Also in cooler weather is it possible to cool too much on the coils?

That would work to.
Are you going to build a shroud like mine?

I used an on off switch as well as if fridge is off so are fans.
They draw minimal amounts.

The basic isdea is to move hot air up and out which will displace heat and regenerate the amonia in the tube back to a liquid

Install the fan below your condenser coil, what turns the fan on with a Norcole is a temp disk (clickon) that is located in the coil fin on the top not the bottom. You want to suck the air in at the bottom and blow it over the coil before it leaves the unit. I just epoxied a 2nd fan to the original at the top and below the coil and then wirier them together with a double spade connector......  But my exhaust is in my slide wall, NOT A ROOF VENT !!!!!

I have almost zero room below. So here's my plan. I'm ordering a new/used cover for the outside. I will keep one stock for travel and the cooler Months. The other I plan on mounting both my fans in and when the weather is hot I will slip this one in place and just run an extension cord to them. I can make it look neat and it seems this will solve the problem. Will post pictures when done.

Project done and I have to say it looks professional. Once I cut the holes in the refrig. cover I took plastic tube and split it to line the rough cut. The fans fit nice and now I just need to decide if I should adapt the outlet where the refer plugs into or just run an extension cord when needed. Once my son gets up he can figure out how to post a picture......I certainly can't.

Just called my GF. We are camping tomorrow so prior to leaving for my shift we plugged in the refrig and fans. That was 5 hours ago. Freezer 1 degree and refrg. 29.......thinking I may raise the temp a bit or everything will freeze.

Rain ....I have put some thought into this, I'm either going to put some type of cover or....just put the stock cover on when it does. We only have this problem during the really hot days so hopefully we won't need in the rain. And Thank You!!

Uggh...going to add a shroud like the one on the stove. Should be easy and it will keep out the rain.

Mount them above the door cutout on the wall of the camper.

theroo2, is there a reason you elected to mount the fans outside rather than inside?

They blow in, when you say mount inside do you mean inside the compartment or inside the camper? There is little or no room inside the compartment for any type of fan. I don't know if the panel on top of the refrig. is just a blank that I could cut into or not. My best reason was it's not permanent, I can just put on the other panel and the unit is back to stock.

Inside the compartment is where most folks put them, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with your idea.
