Mark, this sounds to be a smashing good idea. Let me see if I have it right.

1. Remove city water inlet from side of bus.
2. Remove inlet guts, leaving enough to mount fan.
3. Mount fan on rear of inlet.
4. Connect fan in parallel with existing fan on rear of reefer.
5. Check to make sure fan blows outward, not inward, when powered up.
6. Re-mount inlet. Door covers opening to fan.

Prop open inlet door when desirous to exhaust hot air outside.

Any particular kind of fan?
