Covers
Hello,
Only ever used them once in Norway, -22C mind.
More use would be a fan in the vents for summer.

hi ,
winter covers are required below ambient temperature of 5 C as stated by dometic.
This increases the temperature in the fridge/freezer there by making the internal temp cooler so you use less gas or electric and more important less strain on fridge.
We place ours on in november and remove in march each year in the Uk and abroad in winter, some dealers/manufactures supply with van some dont :roll: .
Also to my knowledge their is 3 sizes of vents so get the right size for your van, they can be easily sprayed to match colour of van
On the subject of the fan they can be fitted to the top vent only as they remove excess heat when turned on so cooling fridge and preventing overheating of the frideg back, not to mention overcooling inside.
Ours was fitted as a extra with a separete switch in the van so we use only above 25 c . They usually have a temp controle to regulate when they come on and off, well worth the money and they run on 12v with little current draw.
hope this clears up any questions on the subject.
A s ever some dealers now their stuff and others are incompitent :lol:

That was very interesting. Did you have the fan fitted? Do you know who makes this fan kit? Can you recall the approximate cost?
hi orian,
ours was fitted by Chelston motorhomes to our old bessacarr,
basically its a snall 12v fan connected to a seperate switch , not shure of the cost but most compitent :roll: motorhome dealers should be able to fit one.
My sujestions are to get a few quotes and ask them for contact details of people they have done work for before getting them to work on your pride and joy
If they aint willing to give recommendations they aint worth the work :evil:

If you search the forum you will find some info on how and what fans to fit. You can get 12v Computer type fans off ebay of from Local computer shops, Maplins/RS/CPC etc. Quite easy and cheap to do.orian said:Hi tramp,tramp said:hi ,
