I’ve only got a double at the top blowing out did i aught to have the same at the bottom blowing in? I’m confused.🤔
Nah, you only need the external fans at the top, as they draw the air up from the bottom over the cooling pipes and extract the warmed air out the top, like a radiator does.

None that I know of. I’m sure if you go to a big meet and let it be known you would get a funsters or two to help you fit. Just make sure you have everything needed and ask before going
Edit if your F/F is working it’s not necessary to fit the fans
They are an option on the 10 series Dometic fridge/freezer, or they are/were on the Morelo price list, they fit Siemens or Bosch domestic compressor FF on a small inverter now.

EDIT and yes my comment is re external fans ;)

Good opportunity to scrap off and renew the paste behind the fins also, which needs doing after a few years as it dries out.
You can also buy those 12V temp controllers in their own self contained box enclosures, you need 2 of them one for the external fans, & one for the internal fan.
Then you can have fun and games setting up "The Sweet Spot" for them to turn on/off which takes some time to get right, depending on individual FF performance.
I cant find the exact ones we used but here is a similar one, with temp probe, below.

Yes I'm replacing the paste behind fins too

The fans need fitting - one at the top dragging air out and one at the bottom blowing air up to maximise circulation/cooling 😉
My question related to the internal fans and not the external fans. 👍😉

You’re fine as you are. 👍
Should be fitted at top blowing out so extracting the heat from the exchanger.

Read the posts again, not talking about external fans.
Thank you. 👍

Everyone I've ever seen just fit two fans in the top vent .
Not easy with a roof vent.

So far it looks like my Series 10 is working fine without fans but only had a max of 34° but beer was nice & cold.

Been running most of the time on 3 a few days on 4 when it was 34°.

A bit of a shock, something Dometic makes that works. 🤣
