Camco Refig Aux. Fan

Installed one of the Camco solar power vent with fan. The Solar Panel cracked within a few months. Notified Camco and they sent a replacement panel with alum. trim to hopefully correct the cracking
problem. Have not installed the new panel as of yet. I added a off/on switch down at the refig. vent so that I could turn the fan off when refig. not is service.
If you are considering purchasing one of these units, make sure the solar panel in the upgraded model with the alum. trim for mounting the panel. The original model solar panel had the mounting screw holes in the plastic panel. The screws and screw holes restricted the thermal growth of the plastic which caused the cracks, just one theory.

I installed five of these on various customers coaches over a period of a month. I also installed one on my personal coach. None of them have made it a year.. solar panel is garbage, cracks and splits in the sun. No replacement is available and no warrenty is covered.
Difinitely not worth the money. Cut a hole in your roof vent and put in a solar powered boat vent. will be better in long run.

A pain to install

First you have to pull the fridge out of where it is mounted to be able to install the fan. Second they claim that it will fit any Dometic fridge vent base. Well it would not fit on my vent base ( a brand new one for a Dometic fridge). I ended up taking the solar panel off of the Camco cover and installed it on the cover that came with my new base. I HOPE that it will help my fridge cool better, If it does'nt it will be a complete waste of time and money.

I installed one of these in my rv refrigerator condenser compartment
and was surprised how little light it took for it to work. The refrigerator is in one of the slides on the trailer so I installed the collector on one of the awning brackets and it worked out very good. So far it looks very good.

It is hard from the ad to realize that is is "almost" imposible to install
the fan without removing the entire refrigerator. Someone may be
able on some models, but not me. If i had known that, i would have
passed on it.
