I have decided not to use the small 3 way fridge I bought for my camper and just received a Engel MT45 to replace it.
Reading through the owner's guide it says that the fridge should be at least 6" away from solid walls for maximum cooling efficiency and minimum electrical consumption.
I've seen many pictures of these units in campers and don't remember seeing them that far from the walls or cabinets. Anyone with experience with these fridges care to offer an opinion about whether or not that much clearance is needed? How much clearance does yours have and how much heat does it give off?
6" clearance on each side of the fridge and 6" from the back wall is more room than I have.
Thanks
