Your compressor fridge will use less power if you give the condenser unit plenty of air. Here's a thread you might like on the big RV site regarding condenser ventilation:

I'm impressed by the cooler box build. I'm looking forward to watching it progress. Very neat.

Thanks

inside condenser there is ventilator (original)
it will cool compressor and condenser



and in cooler box compartment down i have fresh air intake and up - heated air suction.



and this ventilation tubing is connected with this fan



i will connect both fans work together
so i hope that it will be enough.

dismantled all down again (cooler box)
and made some cuts and ...
used furniture corner profile (aluminium) and build it up again

[MeelisV]

first dry fit with insulation
insulation is 1,2 inch SPU insulation
planning attach insulation with double sided tape and fill joints with foam
cover later with same composite panel like outside

Hi,
I am looking for this kind of duct to insert a computer fan as well. Could you share where you get them?

Thanks

and got 12V vent with 2,5" duct connections



now thinking how to control vent - 1....2....3 speed or smooth control and monitoring temperature
