Looks great, Tree! I think putting the streamers on two of them so you could see when they were working was a clever idea. My technique is to hold my hand up to the vent to feel the airflow, or to...

But, I'm not sure it would work properly with the Mattel toy fan that was OEM. The PC fans I installed pull less power than that crappy OEM thing and they move more air, quietly.

Chip, I totally missed your post here, and, we just got back from a very successful camping trip with the new internal fan in the fridge. It worked like a charm. I don't know if it really keeps...

Clever idea for mounting the internal fan, Chip. It should also "decouple" the fan from the refrigerator so that vibrations are not transferred and amplified. I found I got some vibrations with my...

Chip, those are great mods! *thumbsup*

I just built a brand new high end Windows 7 PC and used an Antec case that came with three of those 120 mm 3-speed fans. They are quiet on low and medium...

John, I'm sorry if I sounded like an "angry parent". I DID understand where you were coming from in your post and immediately went to Snyder's web site to check it out. I never feel an "ownership"...

Respectfully, I'd like to point out that the Snyder's unit moves 44 CFM, and the fans I installed move 98 CFM. The Snyder current draw is 0.2 Amps compared to my fan's pull of 0.3 Amps, so Snyder...

Thumbs up Operationl Test of the "Fan Mod"

Janet and I just completed an 8-night trip to Yosemite National Park with the Sushidog Mod...

Refrigerator Fan, Part 2

With the duct in place, you can see how far below the coils the fans extend. The original fan was this low too. Since that area of the fan is not moving air across the coils, I thought it was wasting...

My Refrigerator Fan with Pictures, Part 1

OK, here's my new, improved refrigerator fan with a duct. In my trailer, the fan is in an opening in the upper section. It's behind a sheet metal cover that's held in place by many (18-20?) screws....

I'm actually in the process of building a "duct" to improve the efficiency of the fans. Not sure it's going to work, but in any case, I'll post pictures when I'm finished.

For mine, I went to a local computer supply store and bought two "S-FLEX" 1200 RPM fans. They were...

The original fan in the trailer operates on 12V. Since sushidog didn't talk about reducing the voltage further (say to 5 Volts) I have to assume the new ones run on 12V too. I KNOW they are not 110V...
