My current Coachmen has the fridge mounted in the more conventional manner so the exhaust vent is on the roof of the trailer and as such is not equipped with a fan to draw hot air out, certainly an advantage when dry camping. It's not the fridge but the installation that determines venting methods used.

It is the wasted battery power from fans running that is my main objection. If you dry camp in hot weather, that wasted power becomes an issue.
Agree, and yet another good reason for investing in some sort of solar to help offset this "wasted" power running those fans. I'd bet many don't even think of this, probably also don't consider the "wasted" energy also used to power the fridge climate control system which on many models these days can't even be turned off. What a waste of good battery reserve. :M
