I've never covered the vents when washing my pop-ups or A-frames (fridge, heater, water heater vents are all on the side). I've never worried about a little water getting into the rear of the appliance areas. On the 2019 A-frame, I noticed the Dometic installation instructions for the fridge called for a vent in the floor in addition to the side vents. I found the floor vent was there, but was 95% covered and blocked by Pex plumbing lines.
Invariably, I've spilled water inside from plumbing leaks, installing/replacing the water filter, and beverage spills inside and outside the fridge. None of these caused any damage that I saw.
Not much help, I know.
