how to improve fridge cooling for 2013 Norcold with one fan

Mellow_Yellow

My 2014 T@B Max has a wonderfully reliable Norcold 3-way fridge. This model of T@B has just a single vent beside the door and the fridge is equipped with one fan. Is there a way of adding an additional fan? Would an internal, battery operated fan inside the fridge improve cooling? Would it be worth adding a fan to the side vent? Here are examples I have found:

Interior fridge fan: https://www.amazon.ca/Valterra-A10-2606-FridgeCool-11-28-Switch/dp/B002N5W8Q4/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2P90ZN66OJWA&dchild=1&keywords=rv+fridge+fan&qid=1629575009&sprefix=rv+fri,aps,253&sr=8-4

Add-on fan for side vent: https://www.amazon.ca/Waterproof-Moisture-Proof-Airflow-Cooling-3500RPM/dp/B08KXQT6DT/ref=sr_1_8?crid=2P90ZN66OJWA&dchild=1&keywords=rv+fridge+fan&qid=1629574474&sprefix=rv+fri,aps,253&sr=8-8

The problem I am trying to solve: During recent, abominably hot weather, running the fridge on propane, the fan was not keeping up and draining my battery like crazy. So I turned off the fridge to avoid overheating it and draining my battery during the hottest part of the day.

At one point several year Go. NU CAMP had a modified side vent and switch with a fan installed in the vent. You replaced the existing side vent and. Installed the switch in the front face of the counter. I got one  y contacting them.  I added it to our then, 2013 Maxx.  When the counter got warm above the fridge, you turned the switch on.  Did  ot

need it incool weather as the added heat helped warm the cabin.  Might contact Nu Camp and see if they have left. Could also just add a small computer fan in the vent.

I have 4 fans on my fridge. Same year and type you have. I can keep my fridge cool up to 100 degrees outside temp. I live in AZ so this is necessary sometimes.
