> Fridge Fan wiring

       Barry, I just did this to my fridge while it was out for the winter 
restoration project.  Fridge has to come out first of all.  You can run the 
wires for the fan through the existing hole for the thermostat coil wire in 
the back of the fridge just behind the evaporator on its lower right hand 
corner.  On the top of the fridge, under the metal cover, you will find a 
terminal strip where you can pick up electrical connections for the fan.  I 
put a push button, LED lighted, switch on the front panel of the fridge just 
to the right of the propane main valve.  So when the fan's on the lite is 
lit.  I do not remember the colour of the wires but I "think" brown was + and 
blue -   Whatever you do test with a tester to get the right wires.  You want 
to get the + lead that is powered all the time not the one that is powered 
only when the engine is running.  I should have taken pics of all this but 
too late now it's all back together.  I used a small 12 volt computer fan and 
used double sided sticky tape to secure it to the top of the fins of the 
condenser so the fan would blow air down over the condensor fins.  Good luck 
with this worthwhile project.
