That's part of the idea. The other part being that the air would get directed along the floor toward the fridge grate. Seems to me that the vents line up with the slider bearing, uh, groove. Concerns with venting in air from below: potential propane leak(s), bringing in dust. And, the slider would get hot in the sun. Even with some kind of fancy insulated ducting between fans and openings, I'm starting to think that if it's 100+F outside, at best, one brings the Westy interior down to that. The Dometic would still be challenged with that kind of heat.
