Can Furrion RV Fireplace Mount Flush

Question:

The furrion electric fireplaces say they can be flush mounted or mounted so face of fire place is 2 15/16 out from wall. It also says to not block vent. If you flush mount the fireplace wouldnt the vents on top be blocked?

Installing the Furrion RV Electric Fireplace with Crystals - 30" Wide - Recessed Mount - Black # FF30SC15ABL in the "half-flush" mounting position is going to allow for better ventilation of the fireplace which will offer better performance and help prevent the fireplace from overheating and kicking off. I always recommend mounting it with the vents showing but Furrion has made their fireplaces capable of being flush mounted as many customers want the sleek look or don't have the room for it stick out. Basically there is enough gap between the top of the fireplace and the vents that if you had the fireplace mounted flush there would be enough air for the vent to work by sucking air behind the opening.
