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...

Whatever works.
First test it in open air. If it gets hot in open air then the rest is obvious

REGARDLESS
Get a 120mm .15 amp muffin fan blowing on it. Look on the side that has a row of tiny transistor holes - that is the side to play the fan on. Yes even your new inverter.this.

DPDT switch. One throw has light + switch the other just the fan
