The refrigerator intake and exhaust is a closed system. There is not a
path to the interior of the van unless the drain plug is missing or
there is a hole in the combustion chamber.

If you use the fridge on propane, Rig up a metal screen over the vent
outside. They are attracted to the CO2 in the exhaust and fly up the
tubes
to the interior. It took us a few hours of swatting last year in Canada
to
figure out where they were getting in.It was a blood bath on both sides.
