Autosleeper cut a hole in the floor for the RM 212.
Most folks agree that a vent is not absolutely necessary. unlike the flue...which is compulsory.

Just ensure that the rear of the fridge can circulate air, from under the fridge and out of the top.
If you intend on touring hotter countries then venting is a very good idea, and the floor method is a sound one

and yes you alternator is up to it
