Hi,
happy to join the forum.
Finally caravanners, after managing our first run with our 230gt puck L up to Faskally.
.
Managed to lose the top Dometic fridge vent on the way to the site and returned with the aperture closed with Gaffa tape!
Had a great time though and others at the site helped us set up which was appreciated.
If anyone can recommend where we can get a replacement vent grille that would be great.

Welcome and bad luck on the fridge cover. If you type "dometic caravan fridge vent cover" into e-bay you should find something as they are a generic part and not just for Eriba.

So far I have never used my fridge vent covers. I thought they were for use in cold weather but are they needed when towing ?

I should correct what I have typed but your reply would then not make sense.

I should have said "the slatted cover for the top fridge vent area". The solid covers that go over these are only used in the winter, I think below 5c. You can also use them when in storage if you wish.

Sorry, to be clear, it isn't a cover its the actual vent part.
Totally disappeared with the little half turn retainer.

These are available, if fairly expensive for what they are. Leisureshop direct are a pretty good supplier of such things;

You need to identity the type you have got fitted to ensure you get the right one.

Wasn't there one model of Puck that had the fridge vents on the front wall of the van and which would fill up with water when travelling in wet weather if the covers weren't fitted?

Perhaps my memory is playing tricks but I'm sure Roger or Colin will know.
