Completely agree. When you read the install manual for the refrigerators it stresses to have the fridge tightly sealed all around. We have an older RM2510 fridge but it had a huge gap on top and sides when I investigated. The pic shows 2" polystyrene foam that filled the top gap. I then stuffed batt insulation around the sides and then sealed it all off with metal HVAC tape. Won't be possible with the roof vent though. I was able to work through the two sidewall vent openings. Escape has made some improvements to their fridge installations but there are still some details they could do better. With the sealing and a propane regulator replacement the fridge is working great in all conditions.
