Yes, The only intake for the fridge is the ~ 1.5" x 16.5" opening below the fridge.
I thought of having an intake to the floor, but am not going to cut any more holes in the floor.
The Air is currently forced out through the rear wall/ Window behind the fridge. I have not yet made the provisions to allow it to enter the living compartment.
Last night I checked the vent temperature from outside the Van toward the end of a compressor cycle. The window and body right next to the vent: 52.5F degrees. The face of the louvered vent, 68.5f degrees.
The adjacent cabinet in which I plan to route the warmed air is also my electrical cabinet. I was planning on venting this cabinet anyway as it does get warm with the Schumacher running(soon to be PD 9260). Might use a Snap switch to power a 80mm 24v fan. It only draws 0.05amps at 12 volts.
