Hi Folks in todays video I show you how to install the Dometic Fridge Fan Kit.
This job will take a couple of hours to do but it will help the Fridge keep its cool in the summer months. Thanks Phil.

1€ worth of wire, 4€ fan and 10€ thermal switch + dometic logo = 100€

@andrew-karens-adventures

How much, what a rip off you could probably buy all the items at a 3rd of the price, another great video thanks for your honest review 👍

@michaelmartin500

Well explained, but the pricing is an absolute rip off, I had the same over heating problem in my motorhome fridge last year so I purchased a 5" USB powered desk fan (£5 on Temu) which I will connect to a phone charger power pack and I can use my jump starter as a power supply if needed

I blame the caravan manufacturers. They persist on putting the fridges on the awning side of caravans. This area in a hot country can easerly reach 50c inside the awning . We go to France in the summer and our fridge fails every year. Even with a fan.

@TheOldRogue

Essentially you are paying over £100 for something that's not that good and that you could buy the parts yourself for less than £10....WOW

We have the same fan fitted to our Dometic 8xxx series fridge in a Swift caravan. We had to have it fitted by an approved engineer as the only way to do it was to disconnect and pull the fridge forward. At least it's powered from the dedicated fridge fan output connection.

I fitted a fan but it burnt-out the element think it pushed it to far

@musicmancjp

Good video as always. It amazes me how cheap and rubbish caravan appliances are. But the prices charged are extortionate. Anything dometic or truma fitted to most makes of caravans are just poor Quality. I have a 2013 swift 530se and to be honest I am not impressed by the build quality of that either, microwave cheap,stereo cheap.panoramic windows and decals cracking and leaking,back panels cracking.The list goes on and on.What are your conclusions.

@robswiseways5697

Another good job done there Phil and ready for the next heatwave 👍. We both tackled this awkward to fit fan in our own way but had the same thoughts on fitting and the lack of box contents such as an in-line fuse and cable clips. Cheers for the mention. All the best, Rob 😀

@paulefc1971

We have one of these fitted and it was absolutely no use whatsoever in France last year nor the year before, the fridge was beeping and giving too warm error messages pretty much every day, we are bting the bullet and buying a compressor cool box this year just to keep things cool

@rhinogooner

I love those wago connectors use them all the time in house and van. One thing I also use is ferrules on a stranded wire. Makes the end of the wire neater and easier to fit into a terminal.

@montesa9092

Well done 😀 I use since years the set of TITAN. Great product and it reduces the energy use a lot to get the temperature you need in summer

@BessiesTravels

Off to France in August to really thinking of getting one of these. Thanks for the useful information about the fitting. Mike

@paulandsarahcaravanlife

Honest review .Hi Phil 👋 great video and I will be using your method as I'm thinking of doing ours. It makes sense. Cheers Paul and Sarah

@noormancrabb6428

Good morning, another interesting video. Good to hear an honest review with regards to product and fitting. Its’sa pity that Dometic don’t supply everything that’s needed for the price.

@howardpalin67

I Phil I fitted a Thetford fridge fan a few years ago and what a success it is, our fridge vents are in the awning so in warm weather the fridge really does suffer.

@HitchUpAndTow

Hi Phil, nice job and easy, those are the one's I like👍

@busterboy7505

Well done Phil, we will never be able to travel abroad with our caravan, wife is not a good traveler, our fridge is on the awning side, and I was wondering if the fridge did struggle could I put a desk top fan on a table and have it blowing in to the fridge vent, it would save a lot of struggling and it would be a lot cheaper, thanks again Phil 👍👍.
