Refrigerator heat shield

So we recently purchased a Geo Pro trailer. We love it but we’re using the refrigerator on gas and noticed the cabinet above it was getting very hot. I took off the outer vent cover and saw that they had used a piece of paneling as a heat shield. This was absorbing the heat and not deflecting it well at all. I purchased a piece of thin sheet aluminum some spacers and clips. Total cost $10 and installed it in about 15 minutes. I used a small piece of masking tape to hold the spacers on the exhausting board then inserted the aluminum and clipped the two pieces together. The spacers create. Gap between the ex soaring shield and the aluminum shield. This reduced the heat transfer to the cabinet by about 90%. Super easy upgrade that anyone can do.
