That unit is not intended to be run on propane inside of an occupied
vehicle. It has no provision for safe venting of the combustion gases or
supplying fresh air.

Both of these are a concern with any propane model fridge. The Westy
fridge has an excellent approach from a safety point of view, a
dedicated snorkel that draws in fresh air and exhausts entirely to the
outside.. Propane fridges need the combustion area sealed from the
interior of the vehicle. Most now rely on a permanent mounting in a
sealed space with large vents on an outside wall. This is one of the
reason that 12 volt / 120 volt fridges are used in so many conversions.
They can be mounted just about anywhere inside without regard for access
to an outside wall.
