I replaced my fridge with a Tundra 12V compressor fridge last year. I was worried about heat build up as well so I tapped into the fridge fan circuit to close a relay, which in turn runs an axillary fan. I then added a snap relay so that the fan only comes on when its over 85F. Solved the heat build up issue.

I added an inch of polyisocyanate insultion around the box for an extra R7. It might not help much but it won't hurt any. I also added a layer of reflectix insulation on the sides, underneath the fridge and over the back. I figure every little bit will help.

Mine uses 1 amp-hr on average at 80F.
