Qu’est-ce que c’est?

In the words of Father Jack - "what 'da hell is this?"

We've got two of them :

Fridge vent covers for cold weather.

Ooo, ok. That wasn't even on my rather short long list of possible uses

So this is the outside vents?

 

[stevewagner]

They fit behind the external grills

Thank you both.

Your supposed to fit them if the temp falls below 5-6 I believe to allow fridge to work at maximum. You remove the vent covers by sliding a little black plastic switch at the inside top of the vent. A word of caution ....the vent surround plastic nodules which the vent fixes to become brittle with age and I ended up having to replace both vent surrounds as the nodules had snapped off. I know from the Auto Trail groups most people leave them off which I now do having learnt the hard way.

We just found them at the bottom of a drawer we don't empty out very often. Been camping in sub-zero temperatures and never fitted them, maybe we should from now on.

If it drops below freezing I will bang them on the rest of the time they are in the drawer. I am heading your direction late August up to Knordcapp hopefully I wont need them

I never motorhome in temps below say, 12 deg, and the only time I've fitted my fridge vent covers has been when taking it to be washed.

Knordcapp? Ahhh, I see. I use a VPN to keep my data from my ISP (not saying why ) We're in the UK (live in Bath).
