Tired of your caravan fridge not coping with hotter weather, resulting in food spoilage & hot drinks?
Our patented, Australian Made, Klevacool™ (pronounced Clevercool) Caravan Fridge Fan Kit for large Dometic or Thetford vents can make a big difference!
Our kits are designed to fit your vent perfectly & extract the hot air from behind your fridge, allowing it to function as efficiently as possible.
What makes the Klevacool™ system better?
Our fan kits now come with a 3 YEAR WARRANTY!
The Klevacool™ system uses custom designed, “smart fans”, that have been built to our specifications.
The fan speed varies automatically, providing the right amount of cooling, without excess noise or power consumption.
Klevacool™ external fridge fans are RPEQ certified!
This means that all aspects of quality control, materials, design, construction & performance data have been inspected and reviewed by a Registered Paractising Engineer of Queensland & comply with or EXCEED all relevant Australian Standards.
*
Our variable speed fan system provides the following advantages:
More efficient, as they only draw as much power as required to cool your fridge.
Safer, because they shutdown if the blades are blocked by a foreign object - No fan burnouts!
Quieter when the ambient temperature is colder (usually at night!).
Extremely low current draw, even at full speed. No power wastage!
Fans are extremely quiet due to efficient, low speed blade design & our custom mounting system.
Fans cycle on & off less frequently, reducing annoying changes in background noise levels.
*
Our kits use our own design, “Klevacool™ Electronic Fan controller”:
Designed & assembled in Australia, for RV’s operating in harsh Australian conditions.
Switch selectable temperature settings to provide flexible control options.
Bypass/test switch for testing the fans or in the unlikely event of controller failure. Peace of mind!
Multicolour status LED for quick & easy visual indication of fan status.
Over-temperature monitoring & alarm if temperature gets too high. Safety first!
Seperate current protected output for an internal fridge fan system. No need for an extra fuse!
Efficient mosfet reverse polarity protection to prevent damage if incorreectly wired.
Extremely low current draw in standby mode (14mA).
Connection port for Klevacool™ remote control (available here).
Temperature sensor is built into the board, which means no dangling temperature probes.
Connector is quick & simple to disconnect if vent needs to be removed.
Controller is coated with silicon conformal coating to seal it from the elements.
*
3D printed fan mounting plates, designed to fit your vent like a glove….
Makes fan mounting very neat & simple.
increases system efficacy by reducing or eliminating parasitic vortices.
Klevacool™ control system is mounted to the plates eliminating the need to mount a controller elsewhere.
Plates self align, further simplifying installation.
The fans are very simple to install using the included zip-ties & our highly detailed installation instructions.

INTERNAL FANS?
Add a set of internal fans (3 way fridge type only) to your order & receive an automatic discount!
(If you have a compressor type fridge, click here to view our internal fans for compressor fridges)
Internal fans mount inside your fridge & circulate the cold air.
This reduces frost & keeps all areas of your fridge cold.

What do I need to know before ordering?
Identify what brand of vent you have, Dometic or Thetford, using the pictures below.
Check that you have the required clearance behind your vent, to allow for the fans, as per the picture below.
Find 12v power behind your fridge (if you have a light in your fridge, 12v will be readily available).
Decide if you’d like to add an internal fan.
Please also read the “important notes” below, before ordering!
Klevacool fridge fans have always been recognised for their quality.
Our fridge fan kits now come with a 3 year warranty.
The fitting of heat extracting fans to improve the efficiency of an absorption fridge is not a new idea, so what's different about the 3DprintRV Klevacool fridge fan system?
Controller bypass switch in the unlikely event of failure. Peace of mind!
Neat, professional finish.
Low standby power draw (14mA)
Self aligning 3D printed mounting plates make a neat & simple job of mounting the fans.
Simple connector system allows vent to be easily removed for maintenance.
Reverse power protection built in.
SMART FANS - Our fans move up to 1640l/min EACH & vary their speed depending on system requirements. This means less noise, less wear & lower overall power consumption.
SMART FANS will simply stop if the blades are blocked & restart when they are free again. No burn outs!
Mounting of the fans is neat & simple using 3D printed mounting plates & zip-ties.
Low current draw (0.35 amps in total).
A multicolour LED provides unobtrusive visual indication of what the fans are doing.
Over-temperature alarm alerts if temperature behind vent gets too high.
Simply requires 12v to be provided to the connector on the fan mounting plates. All other wiring is done.
Controller & fans are fully tested before being sent to you.
No drilling required to mount the fans.
36 months warranty.
The graph in the pictures shows the before and after performance of my Dometic fridge in a Jayco Penguin while running on 240v. I’ve marked the point on the graph where the fans were installed. The internal fridge temperature stayed below 5 degrees after the fans were installed and this was at up to 41 degrees ambient, running on 240v!
NOTE: This was our fridge & represents the best possible results. Results WILL vary from fridge to fridge.
The fans don’t cause any issues with the flame when the fridge is operating on gas.
The kit comes with quiet, high quality, brushless, smart fans that draw 0.35 amps in total.
Installation is as simple as:
Removing the vent.
Mounting the fan plates using the supplied zip-ties.
Connecting the fans to your van battery management system.
Refitting the vent with the fans fitted.
The controller automatically turns the fans on when the temperature reaches the chosen trigger point.
A multicolour LED provides unobtrusive visual indication of what the fans are doing.
There is also an over -temperature alarm that will sound if the temperature behind the vent gets too hot.
Detailed, step by step instructions with photos are provided & include my phone number for support.
Any questions prior to purchase of a kit will be promptly answered using our contact page.

Important Notes!
Our fan kits require 70mm of inward clearance, measured from the outside wall of the van, to enable them to fit.
Please see the below picture for clarification.
This fan system is specifically designed to fit the larger fridge vents, as used on some caravans & campers. Dimensions of these vents are approximately 520mm x 280mm.
There are two different types of larger vent that could be fitted to your caravan. Please ensure you select the correct kit to suit your vent (Dometic or Thetford)
Fans must be installed in the upper vent, not the lower.
The vents shown in the pictures are not supplied. The fan mounting plates supplied in the kit are zip-tied to your existing vent.
Installation of these fans is simple, but a power supply is required for them to operate. Wiring will need to be installed from the van electrical system to the vent. 4 meters of wire is included.
We don't recommend connecting directly to the battery as this will bypass any battery low voltage protection devices in your van.
If you are unsure how to install this wiring, please consult with your local auto electrician or caravan repair shop.
Detailed installation instructions are included.
