Refrigerator cooling fans

[Kurt Horvath]

Curt,

After the vent fans were installed I have the same situation as you.
I had to turn up the thermostat, no problem there.

I usually have the same results with gas or 120v..

The problem now is when I'm running the road the fridge losses it
ability to cool. The only thing I can think of is the vent on the
roof is at a 40 degree angle to the wind and it maybe acting like an
air scoop.

I'm not sure how it would affect the cooling, but I do know if it's
happening the air flow is backwards.

I would like a new unit but at $4500.00 I'll keep trying to fix this
one for a while.

If you guys and gals are thinking about a new fridge, just pop the
windshield out. In two years. I've replaced both sides and had the
right side out on another occasion. If you go to the right shop it's
maybe 1 hour per side to remove and replace. Not a big deal.

Any thoughts??? Anybody.
