Any reason not to drill holes to ventilate inverter?

My cheap-azz HF inverter overheats easily when it's out in the open air and nights are freezing. In new van build, I plan to have an actual electrical cabinet. The inverter is going to freak out...

How about a real fan?


Lololol.For the van? I did that, Maxxair 7000 for $159, yesterday.

Or for the inverter? I have one of those fan mats you put under a hot laptop, never thought of that. It would even run off the inverter's usb outlet. But it would run all night... I wonder how much juice that is...
