Joe,

Short answer, RV frigs always have to have ventilation whether on electricity or propane.

An RV type refrigerator uses heat to run the process that allows the refrigerator to cool. It does not matter whether the unit is running on propane or on electricity. Proper ventilation is required to allow the heat to escape.

Without ventilation the frig will not cool and eventually the entire cooling unit will un-repairably fail and will require the replacement of the frig or at least the entire cooling unit. Worst case scenario is a fire as a result of a catastrophic cooling unit failure.

In short operating an RV type frig with no ventilation will result in a $1000+ repair bill, and possibly a fire.
