RE: Fridge Fan Replacement
In the archives you will probably find a post that lists the Radio Shack
part number for a small DC motor that is a direct replacement for the
original.  I don't advise using it.  It is a little bigger and not a great
fit and it is also VERY noisey.
A number of people have replaced the original with something like GoWesty
sells:

*Just make sure it is blowing up to get the best air circulation.
Another (and highly touted) change is to get rid of the shore water inlet
and place a fan there to actually push the heated air behind the 'fridge out
of the van.  Very good results have been reported with this.  I did this
(and easy mod) but can't provide any reports because I never got the propane
cooling working right in the process.*
