Fridge vent covers ?

My Kingham came without vent covers and I can't find any online easily. I have tried the old ones off the Duetto but they are nothing like right. Has anyone got a link or a part number for these new type (in dark grey if possible).

I think you'll find the info you want in this thread..

Mine also came without covers - but, advised by the Forum - I contacted my dealer and they posted a pair immediately _ free.

When do you know  when  to take of winter covers . At what temperature. Regards Paul.

For the ones fitted on our Nuevo/Lancashire it's 8C when they should be removed.

Around 8-10 degrees seems to be the standard adcice, though as the temp. went down to 5 degrees round here the night before last one has to assume they mean average  daily temperature. 

I've always worked on fitting them in November and removing early April. Basically the same as when grass stops/starts growing at 10 degrees C.

Because the fridge covers have a secondary purpose (keeping rain / spray / road muck) out of the large ventilation holes in the bodywork) I don't think that ambient temperature should be the only determinant of when to use them.
Thus, for example, if travelling on a wet summer day, I'd use the covers - as used to be recommended by Dometic in their handbook.

Obviously, the covers would be removed upon reaching the destination or upon an improvement in the weather and driving conditions, assuming the ambient temperature warranted it.

In practice, I tend to do what SDA does: normally always covered in the winter months, and also in the summer if the driving conditions warrant it.

I've driven through big downpours without the covers on and the van hasn't suffered at all through water ingress through the fridge vents. I presume they're designed to be self draining. 

I was always surprised how the ventilation grille in the bottom of the door of our '01 Eriba Touring Troll never let a drop of water into the van, despite letting g a lot of air through and being able to see through it to outside.

Thanks for the advice guys , regards Paul.
