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..... ;)
