Ordered two different 12v models today I will decide which I'll keep when they come in. Both are very small amp draw and <60 cfm don't need much plus it has to draw thru the outside access door vent, don't want it to work too hard. I choose 12v because I have LP

Whats your intention for mounting location, wiring, and where will you put a switch.
I almost just bought a small 120 fan at walmart. I was thinking i could just put a power bar in behind the outside access panel (its a single receptacle). But then thought maybe i dont trust my fridge plugged into a power bar..and i dont want to open the panel just to switch it on and off all the time....dilema lol

BTW: that location info comes from the engineering staff at Fantastic Vent who used to make the Fantastic fans and they know more about air flow than I do.

I wonder if that only applies to people with no fan from factory though? This fan for me would be a second fan. That said i have no top access panel (aside from the roof vent). Pulling the fridge may be easier than working down through the roof unfortunately...

I'll experiment with a good location just inside the removable access panel and probably put a toggle switch in a convenient spot. This is just a supplemental fan it's not to replace the original.

My plan also. keep us posted. I plan to poke around and take some measurements this weekend. My issue is I only have a lower access panel so my fan will force air upwards as it should but perhaps not enough. I've seen some mods where people places a fan almost directly on the black box that houses the motherboard.

Just increasing the air flow is an improvement. Climb up on roof to see if I can feel a difference.
