Are you guys talking about these types of screens for the fridge?



If so, we have to cover EVERY vent on our rigs down here due to mud/dirt daubers. Plus, yellow jackets love these openings as well. My partner had her furnace stopped completely up with daubers last fall when she went to use her heater. But here, we also cover the battery vent, fridge openings, hot water heater vents along with the fridge ones.

Interesting Monty. I'm guessing those are the ones Scott was referring to. I never get anything in my vents so I never gave it a thought.

Those are the ones Monty! I have everything in my cart on Amazon, but need to go measure the vent to be sure I get the right sizes. I only found it around 9 last night and didn't feel like going out then. How do you like the fit of them?


We don't really get the mud daubers too bad, but our wonderful import from China the Brown Marmoted Stinkbug gets into everything! They get between the doors of the camper, but can't get in. When I was winterizing I looked at those openings and knew what would happen if I left them open! I've sprayed the b@stards with ether and spray paint and they just keep on walking. Don't really want the smell of incinerated stinkbugs from the heater!

They are made for each fridge separately. They have different dimensions for Dometic and Norcold Fridges. You'll have to look them up that way I believe. I use small zip ties to hold mine in place. Works well.

Hmmm, I had never thought of this before, but I am inspired now! Thanks! Don't want the project to roll off of the bench when the tools start going.

One at a time, and always the same operator. I don't know any mechanics who only have one tool available depending on what parts are being worked on, or how complicated the project may be at the time. When needing to apply extreme torque, the project could fall off of the bench and be damaged, if not strapped down properly. That would be bad. You would have to wait for the project to heal before wrenching on it again.

Glad you're back Rodney. Stay out of trouble, we need to tag team the anti-17 guys when the trucks hit the lot.

LOL, this is true! Honestly though, I don't get their reason for posting. If you don't like something, don't buy it. If you like it, buy it. We're not curing cancer here and yet guys get so uptight about things. I think more people need a real problem in their lives to get a better perspective on relatively how important a trucks redesigned front end really is....

Actually, I AM working on a cure for cancer, and daily I find myself doing rocket surgery while at the plant.
You are 100% correct though, if you don't like it, don't buy it. If you do like it, go for it. Don't talk crap about it or the persons who are interested though.
