Well.......
Sometimes you just have to look in the right installation manual (DOMETIC Innovator Ventilation Installation Instructions).
Note: Instructions are per Dometic for proper installation of fridge, vents (lower/upper/roof) and fans as required.....RM2852 amongst many other Dometic models are included. Fan kit, baffles, wiring etc. supplied by Dometic for installation by RV mfg.
:h Just what I said - it's up to the installer whether a ventilation fan is installed or not. Dometic may offer a ventilation kit that may be used during installation of the fridge into the trailer but it's up to the manufacturer to decide if and what they're going to install in the trailers they're building. It's not part of the fridge but rather is an installation kit ... my previous Spree had one, presumably because KZ deemed it necessary, my current Freedom Express does not, presumably because they decided it wasn't. :S
RV mfg. does fridge install BASED on installation instructions from mfg.....norcold, dometic or atwood.
When fridge has cooling issues folks want to blame fridge mfg (norcold/dometic/atwood) yet most insufficient cooling issues are due to rv mfg. lack of proper installation (NOT following fridge mfg. instruction)
Regardless of what you think...fridge mfg. knows what clearances are needed. RV mfg. choose to ignore/disregard or follow.
Of course they make final decision, only because they
are the installers.
But when they don't do it right :H
Whack your head on that!
