Anyone at Malvern willing to show me their fridge vent fans? (1 Viewer)

[Riverbankannie]

Would like to see how they are fitted before we take plunge. Not even sure how to remove the vents that are stuck to side of van. Thanks

I can't show you how they have been installed as I haven't started it yet but I can show you pictures of a kit that I have bought from Holland as per @funflair's link.

Hi have seen the pictures just not sure how to get started. I might get the kit to keep it a bit simpler.

Be aware there are 2 kits - the only difference being the size of the controller box.

Are you allowed to ask members to show you their private bits on Fun.

Don't think so Lenny, but I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Vent removal: remove screws then use a plastic kitchen spatula to break the seal all round. Ease the vent off the van. Use the spatula to remove as much sealant as you can then White Spirit will remove the rest without damage. Use W4 butyl mastic strip (other makes are available!) when you replace the vent. DO NOT use Sikaflex.

Thanks @tonyidle but we have found the way to remove the vents. These are not sealed to the van, that is just the frame they sit in , so no need to mess around with sealant.
It’s been a while since my OP but we still haven’t fitted the fans. We got distracted when we found back of fridge not sealed to habitation. That explains why we had such cold draughts. There is also no deflecter to help direct warm air out of top vent. Not fitted to Dometic installation instructions.
When we have sorted out these things then maybe the fans.

Hi. If You can lay your hands on December 2017 edition of Practical Motorhome, it is described on pages 108/9. On a Dometic as well. If there is no copyright problem @Jim , I can scan and post for you. Mike

Thanks but in the letter of the law, it is a copyright offence to scan it as that is making a copy.
Certainly Jim should not publish on his site.
However, if I PM you an email address and you send something to me directly at that address then who’s to know............
