I was so proud of my latest refrigerator repair, I forgot to lock the vent covers.  On a weekend trip now, parked the pod and went "Oh, F&%#!" when I realized one was gone. Anyway, I found this site: http://www.tvformyrv.com/dometic-vent-assembly-black-3109492-004/ - http://www.tvformyrv.com/dometic-vent-assembly-black-3109492-004/ Anybody familiar with these guys or have a better solution for buying a replacement. Thanks! fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

Damn.. I passed a VERY nice Class A today, with what I will guess was a missing $3000 generator hatch cover. Nice Onan 7500 on display for the whole world to see.. ------------- |

Thanks Stephen, I’ll check it out.
Right now driving down the highway is like walking around with your fly down!

| Keith-N-Dar: I commend you for just saying "piffle". I usually say lots of less than desirable words. Hopefully one day I will be able to just say "piffle". |

I put a small 2” piece of HVAC aluminum foil duct tape on the top and bottom of each vent panels as a backup. It's peels off if you need to access the back of the refrigerator and leaves no sticky residue like normal duct tape because it uses acrylic adhesive. ------------- JandL 2013 Honda Ridgeline 2012 177 2 Paynes in a Pod |

Did the same thing last year, you are supposed to turn the screws after putting on the vent  . Bought the part from Direct-RV. Got it in a few days.http://store.direct-rv.com/directrv/details.php?ProdClass=Appliance+and+Accessories&ITEM=9492004&MfrNum=20412 ------------- John & Sue 2016 179 - built in April 2015 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6L 13-16mpg with 179 - 21-28mpg without |

Thanks John! That helps! In the meantime, I came up with a "coverup" for the ride home!  ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

Looks just like the cover I have on my new service entrance at home. The cover from Cutler Hammer is on back order.
