Thanks Frank. For sure; keeping air temps down behind the van is crucial.

Leonard; I installed what some of us refer to as a  "city water fan".

It really helps. e.g. If stock fan turns on, then I turn the CWF on,
the stock fan shuts off pretty quick. Not a highly scientific means of
testing the CWF but I know it pulls a lot of hot air out. Especially
since I made a channel (of sorts) out of insulation and tin. This
seems to help direct air flow. Looking up, behind fridge:

As per Karls comments, I'll wait for the "kitchen rust" to take its
toll. Then maybe I could warrant the install of some large vents on
the body.     ;)

Neil.
