Anyone know of a good place to pipe hot air from a fridge in the rear of a D4 without drilling any holes?

Compressor type fridge?
Just disperse into cabin.

Yeah it’s an evakool dc40. So far it seems fine venting to the cabin. But the install guide says external venting with cross-flow ventilation is recommended. 
Was wondering if a vent existed and would plumb it before finishing off the rear. 
Isn’t there one in the rear tail lights?

With 2 rubber seals so wont be doing any venting as such. I wouldn't worry ,no one else has an issue with fridges in the rear.

Your overthinking it,just make sure there is nothing pushed up against the condenser so it can breath.I generally have the condenser up close to the cargo barrier so it can’t be restricted of airflow.
Done this for 35 yrs with the Engle in very hot ambients and never had an issue.
Although it now needs replacing as the compresser has started to get noisey and keeps us awake at night.

Ha! Overthinking may be one of my middle names :)
So far so good on this 36d day in Melbs. 
Thanks all.
