I have the small fan for inside but I'm looking for a fan to go under the frig for additional cooling. Any help out there?

Camping Workd has both solar powered fans and normal 12 volt fans that are mounted between the fridge vent and fridge roof vent that should fit your need.

I mounted a 6" 12 volt computer fan above the fridge. On mine no problem turn it on with a switch on the out side. Tied into the 12 volt at the back of the fridge.

Do you have a pic of where you tied into ? I wanted to do that his Summer but was leary of tying into the power. Wound up with a little 5 inch AC/powered fan that rested quite nicely in the compartment, trouble is with the wetting a tee for the 120 line as the fridge is three prong and that size tee is quite large and squeezes out the fan itself.

Amp draw on computer case fans is low and they run on 12VDC. Newegg.com sells some Sony 180mm FDB (fluid dynamic bearing) case fans for about $15 a pop last I checked. Three of these would make an awesome fan bank. Couple that with an HF110 thermal switch and a relay tied into the wire going to the interior light, and you could have a real nice automated set up for around $65. And it would move way more air than the $38 thing from Campingworld.
Oh, lots of computer case fans are cheaper than $15 a pop, but they are usually sleave bearing which should only be mounted with the shaft horizontal. The fans with ball bearins (or FDB) can be mounted with the shaft in any orientation.

YUP, 12 VDC computer "muffin" fans mounted on TOP of the cooling unit exhausting UP. They draw so little power they can be tired to existing lights, etc. Tied ours to a switch in the galley with 12 VDC from the galley light.
Been working that way for 5 years. We only turn it on when it is REALLY hot out, the sun is shining on that side of the coach or we just filled the refrigerator with a weeks worth of room temperature items.

The mods described are promarily to move hot air OUT of the fridge rear cavity. As the hot air is exhausted out the top, cooler air replaces it from the bottom. This keeps the rear of the fridge, which is where the heat is generated,cooler, and subsequently the food and beer cooler. Simple, no? A fan at the top will move more hot air out of the area quicker.
