I'll be curious to see if that helps your refer.

I'm also curious to see if my idea of ducting fresh air from under van up to fins on back of refer, will help.

Was thinking of cutting a hole in floor near back of refer, (if there's room!) attaching a short length of duct with fan at end to move cooler air towards fins. I would then exhaust the rising air out the side of van.

Would be nice to run a test of some kind. i.e. pipe in air from under van via flexible tube to back of refer, through access in cupboard, then exhaust the air with a fan at side vent (at side below LH stove burner) through window to outside.

Have to haul out refer regardless, but am hesitant to cut a hole in floor w/o testing.

For that matter maybe I'll measure temp under van against interior temp before doing any of this madness..... ;)
