The cost of colour

[Blackadder]

A few months ago I asked the dealer to order a set of winter covers for the fridge vents on our Travel Van. Last week they finally arrived - too late for this winter. I was recommended to sit before they told me the price - £120+!!!!
Despite the van being white, the vent covers are grey - so the dealer had ordered grey ones. Quick trip into the stores produced a pair of white ones at £22 - which I could have been using for the last 3 months. No guesses which ones I bought!
So, if you have a grey van and are thinking of covering the fridge vents during storage, think hard. Are colour-mtached covers worth an extra £100?

Just come back from -12° and I don’t use fridge covers as such, what I do is take the bottom one off and cover the inside with foil backed parchment paper and simply put it back on, does the trick a treat , I also don’t cover the top one as a couple of years ago found the fridge gets to hot and can’t vent properly

My Grey ones which I'm using on my white van cost €22 each but that was 3 vans and over 10 years ago.

New van has a compressor fridge, so I will be saving the £22 and getting another leisure battery at £150+..... so there
