Although my fridge in the 195 is a 6.0 Cf, not 3.9, I think they both work the exact same. I have the drain line routed out the vent cover. It sticks out about 2 inches. My fridge run incredibly cold, so I can say in my case, routing it out does not seem to affect it.

I think the difference in airflow between the slide-mounted refrigerators and the larger ones where the venting can be through the top makes a big difference. Unfortunately, there is just no way to have the venting through the top of the slide-out. It would limit the use to only while the slide-out is extended.

I finished mod today, routed it outside at bottom of cover vent after drilling a 3/8" hole, not thru louver. Doing test, fridge is cooling, no condensation yet. Can send pic if desired by anybody. One of my thoughts was if you want to contain condensation in a cup, why make it plastic, plastic serves as an insulator to evaporation, why not aluminum. Also over thinking. It's more stable by not just routing thru louver.
