I have fitted computer fans to my last three vans. You need two x 80mm or 125mm fans and a switch. Do not buy a kit with a temperature sensor as it will not react quickly enough to the outside temperature rise. If you know it is going to be hot, turn them on and leave then on. They are best sited behind the top grill so they suck the hot air out, as opposed to inside the bottom grill and blowing air up over the fins. They will pull the temperature down a few degrees, which does help a little.

I haven't really found a need for them for a good many years. Perhaps fridge efficiency has been improved either that or it is the fact I shade the side where the fridge vents are when I feel it is necessary.

I fittted two computer fans to a Bailey Unicorn, one to the inlet and one to the outlet. The hardest part is finding a 12 volt supply. Fit a switch as suggested and an in-line fuse. It didn’t make a big difference but when you are in Southern Europe every  little helps.
