I clean the fridge with Lysol Direct (antibacterial spray & wipe cleaner)
after each serious use (after a camping trip, but not after a picnic).
That's not enough on it's own - the fridge would still smell bad after
being closed up for a while, even when it was clean, and I couldn't
find a convenient way to leave the door open a bit and still have
the van drivable.

About a year ago I added a "Fridge-It", which is a little 2" plastic
hanging drum full of activated charcoal.  $2.49 from Camping World.
I leave it in the fridge all the time, and now have no more odors, even
after leaving the fridge closed up for a long time.
