- Titan RV refrigerator Fan installation
I installed the Titan TTC-SC20 (120mm) External vent fan in our Travel Trailer recently.
My hope is that it will help reduce the high temperatures in the rear section of the Fridge compartment.
During the Summer it gets hot in the refrigerator compartment, creating enough heat to start transferring heat into the living space where the food cabinets are.
I expect to make a video for the summer of 2021 showing how much improvement to Fridge cooler
this upgrade provides and how well it operates.

This was a super neat upgrade and works great so far !
Yep it was allot of scrubbing 💪😍 I a m glad I did this upgrade. Thanks for Watching
My Norcold died in the desert, it was 115*, thankfully it was still under warranty. Looks like 5.7 years running 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year. Great video thank you for making with link to Amazon. my sister says your hot. Thank you again.
Hey thanks sister, I am glad that link helped. I hope you have better luck this time 😉.
Nice!! No more worries with the fridge anymore 😁
Thanks for watching Ashlee 🙋♂️
Very very good video...totally helped me with the same problems in a hot climate. Thank you!
Thanks Brian ! Not sure how I missed your comment. I appreciate you watching and the nice comment.
hi
Fridge performance will improve if
Fans are instaalled to achieve maxium air flow over cooling elements .
Ammonia fridges cool them selves by rising heat over the crucial components .
Upper fridge coil/ condenser is sealed as good as possible to prevent bypass air flow . Either foam or sheetmetal .
NEXT 1/ bypass and 2/recirculated hot air is caused by not sealing heat chimney is not sealed to fans . THIS makes ALL rising air pass thru fans . IE the fans willsuck 100% air from condenser .
******The other issue is the rising heat over the absorber tank , install a fan either above or below this .
Thank you Paul, this is a really big tip. I appreciate the detail. I hope this will also benefit someone needing help with this style fridge.
@@RVKevin Spreading the Knowledge . Doing all the small things helps with hot weather performance . The more likely the fridge will perform under extremes .
Dometic specify ducting and airflow baffles in installation guide . 95% of 3 way fridge 12vdc / gas /ac 120 are not installed to the best standard and suffer performance issues as a result .
Thanks Paul, all of your posts are very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.
Did you use the 1200mm? Seeing link takes me to that... could you have fit the 140mm fans??
I wish I could confirm the size. I measured originally and it was a perfect fit.
Does the fan blow air into the refigerator space, or exaust it away and up through the vent cap? Thanks
Cj, it is an exhaust fan that pulls the air from below and out the top vent.
It does an amazing job of cooling the outside compartment, thank you for watching 🤩
Nice video. I did a similar install except I installed mine on top of the bug guard under the vent cap at roof level. My testing in hot temps right now is showing an increase in fridge temp by 5° or more when I turn the fans on. Seems crazy. I’m wondering if it’s actually pulling fresh air from around the fans when it’s on instead of pulling warm air out of the cavity. Seems crazy but I don’t know what else would cause this. I have verified that the fans are blowing out. Any ideas? I’m tempted to redo it and install the fan lower in the cavity but I’m not sure.
Josh, I had thought of just installing as you did but decided on the harder install, for sure more of a pain. However, those fans make a BIG difference cooling that compartment down. I should make a followup video. The only thing I don't like about the fan system, is that it makes a crazy amount of electrical interference for my ham radio when it is on. I hope the fan last for many more years.
@@RVKevin so are you saying you think installing the fans lower in the cavity has better cooling performance?
Josh, I haven't done any scientific tests, I can only report in how well and how fast the Temps drop.
According to your info at 5000 hours they will last aprox 6 months. At 50,000 hours they would last over 5 years. Would be nice to know before buying.
Hard Truth, Great question ! Yes the email the company sent shows 5,0000 .. ( an extra zero in the wrong place.)
Looking at the company website they have corrected the number to read 50,000 hrs 💪👍 Thanks for noticing and thanks for watching
