Fridge Vent covers

I never used the pressure washer on the moho. Worried about washing sealant out.

Whta do others think on the subject.

I never would either. I don't trust these cleaning companies either. Had one come out and do our last van. We went off for the afternoon and left them to it. Looked ok on return but a few weeks later on a trip to the Scottish isles we had sprung a leak around the awning area. Not sure it was related but I bet it was. Pretty sure they used one despite me telling them to stay away from any seals etc. The old Kontiki was an absolute nightmare to clean as the GRP was rough and trapped dirt. The roof was slatted and rough like a golf ball. Impossible to clean. The new one looks much easier and when I can be arsed to clean it we will find out.

Actually. That post above about the flue got me thinking. Where is the fridge exhaust on this van?

My understanding is that the fridge exhaust is the top vent.

Convection ensures that Cool air is drawn in the bottom vent and hot air and fumes leave via the top vent.

Fitting fans to pull air in the bottom or push heat and fumes out of the top in the top increase the flow and makes thus improves cooling during hot weather.

4) the reason your jets get blocked every year with muck and rust isn't exactly to do with the fridge being old. The rust comes from the steel 'chimney' immediately above the flame which emits water vapour as well as the burnt gases. If you dismantle the chimney and burner and scrub out the inside with a wire bottle brush it should last several years before needing doing again. If the chimney is that badly corroded that it needs cleaning out every year, get a new chimney and flue assembly.

I thought the "Chimney" was for the heating and that the fridge exhausted via the top vent.

My current van has central heating and no chimney.

Not advised on the Sevel stuff if you like the cab paint where it is.

Just musing.

Buyer be aware there are 2 types of fittings one you twist like a screw the other you slide a clip up and down to lift of the grill so check before you order yours look like the slide one.

And two colours white and cream I remember, we each bought the wrong colour and haven't meet up for the swap yet!!

I am pretty sure the vents in this video below are identical to mine (Swift). I think my vents are LS200

The product I think I want is the Dometic WA 120/130 winter cover set which is this one. So these are the ones with the turning locks you use keys or a penny to lock into place. I hope they stay in place at 70 mph mind.

Apparently some vent covers fit internally according to the link. They're not already on are they Barry from when it was in storage?

Don't think so. Not sure how you would fit them internally anyway without taking the actual vents off.
