I've done it to several vans in my family over the years. It helped all
of them, when camping in warm weather. It also reduces the amount of
running of the main fan. It isn't a fix for fridges that aren't already
working well, it just lets well working fridges do better in hotter
weather than they otherwise would.

The idea is that this will vent the heat from the fridge outside rather than inside, which is the current setup.  My questions is has anyone done this?  What size fan did you use and where did you find it?  Was it worth the effort?
