Does Everchill RV Refrigerator WAY44FR Need Venting to Outside

Question:

I’m wanting to replace the absorption refrigerator in my RV Travel Trailer. Can I leave the external vent covers 2 on the outside wall of the slide and leave 1” space at back of this Everchill 16 cf 12V model for ventilation or should I block off the old vent panels?

Outside ventilation isn't necessary, so you can honestly do either - leave the external vent covers or block them off when using the Everchill fridge you asked about, which is the following part number:

- Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer Drawer - 16 Cu Ft - 12V - Stainless Steel # WAY44FR

You will need some ventilation though, which is just 1 inch of space both behind and to the sides of the Everchill # WAY44FR. So long as you have that, you don't need to have more ventilation to the outside of your RV.
