Can Cabinets be Installed Around a Furrion Refrigerator

Question:
If this fridge is surrounded by cabinetry will it overheat due to compressor heat?

The Furrion Refrigerator part # FCR43ACA-BL is not going to overheat if surrounded by cabinets. However, you do not want the cabinets directly touching the refrigerator. They need to be positioned 2" from the sides and 1" from the top in order to allow proper heat dissipation. On the rear of the refrigerator (see photo) you will notice the compressor which produces the most heat of any of the other components so you would also need to make sure this has enough space to breathe. I reckon 3-4" would be sufficient for the compressor.

I currently have an electric & propane unit in my travel trailer. If I replace it with one of yours, will it operate fine running from my campers 30 amp inverter?
