Outdoor kitchen heat transfer.

I have a 31sqb with the little outdoor kitchen and mini-fridge. I've noticed the little fridge creates a lot of heat, so I try to leave the door open as much as possible. However, this weekend I felt the bunkhouse wall that abuts the fridge and it was really hot.

Anybody else notice this with their outdoor kitchen? Any downside to putting some reflectix on that wall to keep the heat out of the bunkroom?

I have never noticed or checked. When the TT is parked the kitchen door is closed 99% of the time so the heat is in there, I have noticed the heat when opening the door. When camping, the door is open 99% of the time so the heat goes away. We have the larger outside kitchen.

That heat in there is called the heat of rejection from the compressor and condenser . It's like in leaving your winter front on your vehicle in the summer time,it will still run just very hot ,reducing life of the motor.
May be in the mod section you will be able to see the vent I would like to cut in if I could find the time.
