Mine currently blows air down. > Mine blows up, and I think that's how it's supposed to be. Convection will take the hot air up while bringing in cooler air from below. Hot air rises. So the fan aids this process. If the fan blew down, it would be working against the convection currents and wouldn't really be doing much for the heat back there. The fan should blow air up, over the fins. This will draw in cooler air from the floor of the van through the little area under the fridge.
