Truck Fridge Cooling Fans


SuiteSuccess

Recommended Posts

My last truck fridge (Lowes Magic Chef Dorm) croaked after 5 years.  Not bad for only paying $108.  Replacing with Heir 3.1 cu/ft.  After talking to RandyA added some exhaust fans to improve circulation.  Used two muffin fans tied in with a snap disc thermostat which comes on at 100* F and off at 85* F.  Also mounted a switch on dash just in case I want to be sure fans are off when fridge not being used.

Placed fans in between panels at vents

Used my heat gun to activate thermostat and all worked as it should.  I'm happy.

Or, if you have pictures in a Google Photos library you can just "copy image" in the album, and do a paste into the reply.  Really easy.  It took me literally 3 seconds to do the one below.

On 100* and off at 85*.  I researched the Camco fridge fans and they have same parameters.
