As winter approaches, I am toying with the idea of winter covers for the fridge vents.
Are they really neccessary ? as I read somewhere, do they cut out draughts when the MH is being used in winter. Are they safe ( does the fridge still get vented?)
If they are needed I have 2 vents on a Thetford Fridge measuring
20 1/2 inch ( 523mm) x 11 inch (281mm) do these covers just clip over the vents ? and looking on Ebay Thetord ones are £37 !!!
Anyone know where I can get them cheaper if I need them
Cheers
Dave & Jan

Hi,
Fridge vent covers, I believe, should not "cut out draughts" - at least not any draughts that you may be experiencing inside the van. Draughts inside the van from around the fridge area are as a result of incorrect sealing of the fridge into its housing at the time of installation.
As others have said, the primary purpose of vent covers is to stop the fridge from getting too cold when the outside temperature is very low.
I've not had need to use vent covers in temperatures as low as -15C.
Regards,
John
