Computer fans have been suggested and added/used inside the refer
itself, and at the back of the refer to supplement the stock fan.

My idea is to draw air from underneath (outside of) van.

A computer fan would work, but the fan I'm thinking of is likely more
robust as it is designed to work in a vent pipe to vent gases from pit
of an out- house. I believe it may have a higher CFM rating, though I
haven't researched computer fans yet.

There was a link to some pretty cool (pun intended) computer fans
kindly posted to me from another lister.

I'll check them out.

Neil.
