Available Vent Covers for Trailer Refrigerator Vents

Question

Question:

I have a 7 X 17.5 inch opening, metal, 2.5 inches high, refrigerator vent on a 1979 Winnebago pull camper. Has a Sibir fridge. The old vent cover blew off and the old owners just put in a piece of wood to cover it. Am wondering, with slight modifications, if this camco cover would work. Thanks.

For a camper trailer that is about 40-years old you may well have to make do with an alternate part. The reason the trailer's previous owner's did not replace the fridge vent might be that the correct size is no longer offered by any of the popular brands like Camco and Ventline.

All such items we offer are displayed on the linked page. The nearest to yours in overall dimensions is the Ventline # V050400-V015703 which measures 5 x 18-inches.

The Camco cover you referenced, part # CAM42163, is intended for any of three brands of vent base, Camco, Dometic, and newer Norcold bases. If you can submit a photo showing the vent base and opening that might help us offer you a workable solution.

Will this Refer.vent cover fit on my 2002 Fleetwood Bounder Vin # and does it come in White? 31 ft. Class A

That vent cover does come in white as part # CAM42160. While I have no idea if this fits your Fleetwood Bounder or not, here is a link to an answer page that shows the dimensions for the mounting holes so you can determine if it's compatible with your setup.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hey Jerry, GM moved the placement of their puck systems starting with 2020 models so you are correct that the pucks would have the hitch not sit directly over the axle. GM did the math and made sure that this placement wouldn't adversely affect…
