Solar Cooling Fan

I finally put together a cooling fan for my refrigerator compartment, which holds a lot of heat when the sun is on that side of the Scamp. I have 3 computer fans wired in parallel and they are powered with a 5 amp 12V battery that I can recharge with my solar panel. I can also run the fans directly from the portable solar panel when it is not in use elsewhere.

I'm taking unit for a test run this weekend. The fans are attached directly to the rear of the vent panel. (The photo shows the vent panel propped in place backwards, for photo purposes only).

While not very sophisticated, my setup should work well and keep the fridge compartment a bit cooler.
