Fridge Vents
One of the last jobs on the interior of my van is to fit the three way fridge. All the electrics are sorted ,but I could do with a little advice on the vents. Clearly I need to cut a hole to fit the gas exhaust vent..but what about the additional Big Grill vents I see in some campers? Some vans don't have any, some just one ,some two. The fridge is an Electrolux 212A..Mark

Re: Fridge Vents
I didn't fit them in mine.Left a gap under the fridge and then fit a vent in the side of the unit.
I also fitted a thermostaticaly (sp) controlled fan behind the top vent to help with airflow
top vent
gap underneath now cover with mesh

Re: Fridge Vents
Thanks 
, the units are made by EMC and the seats are out of some type of Ford but not sure which.They have been modified to fit the original VW rails

Re: Fridge Vents
yes windy has it right there.
vent the warm air into the van.. every little helps.
make sure there's enough free circulation around the back of the fridge
