Pick the problem that sounds like your fridge. We'll point you to the right KlevaCool fan, then help you nail the kit, size and spacer for your van. No guesswork. No warm beer.
Four problems, four paths. Most people are sorted in a few quick questions.
Cold drinks shouldn't be the hardest part of the trip. Pick the one that sounds most like your van. Each path explains what's going on, what to grab before you start, and where to go next.
Fine at breakfast, sweating by arvo. Hot air is getting trapped behind your fridge, so it can't shed heat fast enough.
Icy down the bottom, lukewarm up top, frost creeping over the fins. Cold air is pooling inside the cabinet instead of moving around.
Struggles in the heat and frosts up? That's two airflow problems in two different spots. Good news: they bundle.
Drawer fridge, inverter or battery charger tucked into cabinetry with nowhere for the heat to go? That's a ventilation job.
Not sure which one you are? Ask the people who build them.
Your fridge keeps things cold by dumping heat out the back. When still, hot air gets trapped in the cavity behind it, the fridge starts losing the fight. KlevaCool external fans sit behind your upper fridge vent and pull that hot air out. For a 3-way fridge struggling in warm weather, this is usually the best place to start.
Up to 7 quick questions. Or browse the external fan kits.
3 quick questions. Or browse 3-way internal fans and compressor internal fans.
Cold air sinks and warm air rises. With nothing moving it around you get icy bits, lukewarm bits and frost building up on the fins. A KlevaCool internal fan gently circulates air through the cabinet, so the whole fridge sits at a more even temperature.
They're two different airflow problems in two different places. Fix one and the other one's still hanging around. Think of it as the exhaust fan and the ceiling fan: different jobs, same cold beer.
Pulls trapped hot air out through your upper vent so the fridge can shed heat.
Circulates cold air through the cabinet so it cools evenly and frosts up less.
In the kit: KavityKoola fan, 2 vents, cutting templates, stainless screws and cover caps, fuse holder and 2 fuses, 4m of wire, zip ties and full instructions.
Drawer-style fridges, inverters and battery chargers all make heat. Build them into cabinetry with nowhere for it to go and they run hot and work harder. The KavityKoola is a 120mm enclosure fan that pulls fresh air through the cavity and keeps things running cool. No selector needed: one kit, fitted with the included cutting templates.
For inside the van only. Not waterproof.

Straight from customers who've fitted them, word for word.
This is a great product,the fridge always iced up but now the fridge compartment is cold top and bottom and no more icing up.
Very good communication and fast delivery. The systems is very easy to fit and keeps the fridge temperature well down even in 45 degree days.
Great product.Have fitted both of your fans and they work brilliantly. Seems like a different fridge.
Worth every cent im in far north Queensland fridge stays at 3 degrees no mater the weather
Great product, designed well and easy to install, would highly recommend!
KlevaCool helps an already working fridge perform at its best. It can't fix faulty seals, blocked burners, failed components or a dodgy install. If the fridge itself has a problem, get that diagnosed first. If airflow is the problem? Now we're talking.
Made for heat, dust, long distances and the corrugations between you and the next cold one.
Dust and water protected, built for a long life on rough roads.
Real airflow without an irritating soundtrack at camp, thanks to dual rubber-sealed ball bearings.
Self-aligning 3D-printed plates keep airflow pointed exactly where it matters.
Full step-by-step instructions in every kit, plus cutting templates where you need them.
Designed, made and supported in Queensland by the people who actually build them.
Every kit is fully tested before it ships, and backed for three years after.
The questions we hear most, answered straight.
It depends on the problem. Hot-weather struggles need an external vent fan, frost or uneven cooling needs an internal fan, both problems need both, and hot drawer fridges or electronics need a KavityKoola. Pick your problem above.
If heat is the issue, start external. It's usually the bigger win for a 3-way fridge in warm weather, and you can add internal fans to the same order at a discount.
There are kits for Dometic vents (early, late, large and rooftop) and Thetford vents (small and large), plus a Uni-Fit kit. The external selector matches you to the right one. Thetford rooftop vents aren't covered yet, but one's in the works.
If there's not much room behind your vent, a 10, 20 or 30mm spacer plate gives the fans the clearance they need. The selector tells you if you need one from your measurement.
Internal fans come in 3-way and compressor styles, and the internal selector picks the right one. For external fans, the selector works from your vent, so run it and it'll match you.
Yes. Every kit comes with full instructions, and the team is a phone call away if you get stuck. Queenslanders, have a read of our QLD fan kit compliance notice before you start.
Nope. The fans run on dual rubber-sealed ball bearings, so you get airflow without a campsite soundtrack.
Three years. Every kit is fully tested before it leaves Queensland.
Tell the 3DPrintRV team a bit about your van and fridge. They'll point you to the right KlevaCool setup before you order so your next adventure to the beach or bush has plenty of beautifully cold beer.
Get the fridge sorted. Get back to the trip.
