For sure. I agree.  :)   But....

I can't justify spending 50-60 Cnd. on my Dometic.

If all this fuss doesn't yield lower (or at least more consistent)
temps inside my Dometic, then it's either time for a Yeti (or equal)
or a VF/TF.

In passing, it seems ironic (given that I swapped in a muffin fan)
that the stock fan *feels* like it moves more air than any of the
muffin fans I tested it against.
