Dometic refir not cooling well

[Scott Forman]

Well, I went and picked up a 4.7" computer fan from Radio Shack and
have wired it directly to the 'Refir Fan' switch in the coach. It is
running now and I have turned the refir back on, we'll see if she
cools. It is starting from ambient temp above 90, so I expect it
will be at least 24 hrs before I see if the fan had any effect or
not. I will post my results.

that used the electronic fans have a good idea that I didn't
consider. No more power than the computer fans draw I could see
having 2 or 3 seperately wired with power from the fan switch but
with different rated thermostats say 85 degree, 100 degrees and 110
degrees this should work quite well.
