Question:

Do you have any videos and/or instructions on how to install new upper and lower refrigerator vents in the side wall of a trailer where there currently is not a vent at all? Thank you

Hey Henry, thanks for reaching out!

We don't have any videos or instructions on it currently, but basically you'll need to line up your fridge vents with the wall on your trailer and see where the cutouts will need to be. Then you'll need to make sure there isn't anything in that wall location that will be damaged when you make your cuts. From here you can install your vents like the Ventline Exterior Wall Vent # V2111-13 with the appropriate cutout size (10-1/2" wide x 3-3/4" tall) and use some sealant like part # FAS59FR to keep water from getting into the cutout.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

For the rv refrigerator sidewall vent, do you have something with a little bit flatter profile?

@HenryA We have the Camco Vent System which uses parts # CAM42161 and # CAM42160, but these are meant for the roof. For a wall went you could use something like the part # BM77GR, but it's important to note that our wall vents are designed around range hood systems.
