I was thinking of going for a 3way fridge as I can get 1 very cheap £40-£50 with the vents for the side of the van. my van is used for everything, its the family car and my work horse. I have a leisure battery and im getting a bigger inverter soon. I would like to also use it as a crew van so I can do my lunch/cuppa when im working. I think a 3 way fridge is the best for what I need, I just wanted to know if its 100% necessary to vent it as dont want to chop the van if I dont need to

Defo needs to be vented if your gonna use the gas,, if using 12v/240v then you won't have to cut the vents.. They don't give off a massive amount of heat anyway.. You could always put a vent in the floor if you wanted just to give it a bit of air,,

I would try it 1st then decide if it's too warm..

I've covered out caravan vents before today as was chilly..
I WILL GET THIS FEcKER RUNNING!!!
