When you mention the temperature sensor on the fins, are you talking about the one inside the fridge in the cold area? If so we have ours on the outside fin but about half way up from the bottom. Previously it had been higher but then the fridge didn't cool that well but the freezer did.

As far as the outside fans are concerned, heat rises so doing what you can to help it flow is good. Just make sure the air is going up over the outside coils. On our rig the fans are on top and pulling air through them.

We also have a couple of those small battery operated fans inside the fridge to help circulate the air inside there. That helped equalize the temperature inside.
