You don't mention what make and model RV or fridge you have. That would help get best advice.
I did not have fans on my fridge, which is a little gas/electric model with side wall intake and vent. After an inspection of mine when it failed to keep cold in hot weather I found several manufacturing fails.
At the exhaust vent there was a curved piece of metal to send heated air out. But there was no fiberglass above it to keep heat from penetrating. My countertop near it was a great place to keep food warm when it was running. I added fiberglass insulation above the metal.
On both sides to make installation easier to install,( I guess) they had 3 x 3 inches notches which let a large amount of heat go up under the countertop and over the top of the fridge. Used metal tape to plug them up.
The burner area was next to a cabinet with a single layer of 1/4 inch plywood. Heat from the burner tube/electric heat duct kept all my under sink area toasty. I purchased some high heat proof under hood insulation and installed it to channel the heat up and out instead of wasting it into the cabinetry.
All these helped. Then I wired in a pair of fans to boost air flow with an inside the cabinet switch to turn them on in high temps.
While camping in Florida I have seen small awnings over the fridge area to help keep it cool. Also saw a few people running box fans into the vents to help the system.
