I had thought about somehow making the foam removable but rules that out. Your idea sounds like it might work for me. I haven't gotten the fridge up into place yet to see how that will work. I'm also think about removing the rear rollers since I'm not too concerned about scratching the plywood while putting it in place. I'm thinking I'll use the top door hinge bolts to attach a bracket to and then attach to the wood when I slide it in. Top and bottom securing sounds like the great idea to me. Did you do anything about venting the cabinet into the room? Allowing air behind the fridge? I think I'll have about 1/2" clearance all the way around mine. Not sure if that is enough?

My understanding of the airflow for the frig is to draw in from underneath and the front, then through the condenser and out the back and ultimately up and out of the cabinet (which means inside the coach). So I would not remove the rear rollers as this might limit or mess up the airflow. I have plenty of rear clearance since I have the two vent pipes running up the wall. I think your 1/2 inch on either side is plenty, I have about 3/8 inch myself.
I still need to figure out a top bracket for the mount there, or maybe on the back. Certainly the hing bolts are plenty strong area to attach a bracket. I plan to just seal my vent panel, but leave it as removable since that is where my electrical and water connections have easy access. Too hard to pull the frig out, need to build a temporary base for it to sit on since it is not at floor level.
The front leveler holes have 8mm x 1.25 thread if my memory is right. It is metric and 8mm for sure, just use the threaded foot to check. My spacer needed 1 inch thickness.
I can see your latest pics.
