I've not had problems with running my refrig on gas while traveling - who knows?

But there is something neat that I have found that is a fine upgrade
to the unit - an internal fan.  I've seen lots of postings about how
to add an internal 12 volt fan, running the wires outside the box
somehow etc.

I came across a simple mini-fan unit at a local RV store that runs on
2 D-cell batteries for a week or so.  I searched the web and found
that you can get this from online sources as well.  You can see it at

I just take the batteries out of mine and leave them and the fan in
the refrig when not needed.  It just moves enough air around to help
make the cooling unit more effective.  The cost listed from the source
above is $14.95 which I think is a bit more than I paid locally, but
it sure was a no-brainer add-on in terms of ease and effectiveness.
