Yes, this is normal. Probably not so good for longest fan life but this is how they work. If yours has the 2 fuses in the small black box behind the driver's seat you can pull the fuses to disable the 12 volt draw from the kitchen.

I replaced the motor and all is well with it now except that after work when I get in to drive home and the inside of the Vanagon is like an oven, the fan is running. It shuts off after I start driving and the inside temp drops. > > Is this normal for the fan to run whenever the fins on the rear of the fridge are hot or is there a way to shut off power to the fan when I'm not using the fridge.
