I got your point but you missed mine. Because yours only gets warm, I'm concluding that it doesn't generate much heat. Flimsy RV cabinetry or even exterior walls for that matter will not trap enough heat to cause a "warm" object to get hot.
No, I fully understand your point ... my point is that any electrical device will generate some degree of heat so given that why enclose it at all when the alternative of not enclosing it ensures that none that heat can become trapped, regardless how little it may be? Seems like a simple concept to me.
One alternative the OP might consider is a totally self contained Progressive EMS-LCHW30C which he could mount somewhere inside his camper where it's display screen would be readily visible but trapping any heat generated by the device wouldn't be an issue.
