Hi all
Has anyone seen external vents that are additional (and much bigger) than the Fridge exhaust vent?
I have two (one under the fridge vent, the other behind the sliding door) on my van and I am unable to find anything to replace them.
I'm feeling I may need to resort to making them, but would rather I found something off the shelf that replaced it. Has anyone any idea what they might me or where I might find them.

I have the same on my Westy just imported from Norway. I hadn't seen them before. I thought they might a special Norwegian requirement from back then.
Where's your van originally from?

Yep have the same on my 1987 Westy Club Joker.
I have changed these covers for new ones now.
Pretty sure they are not standard and added for additional ventilation behind the fridge.

Re: External Vents on Westy Joker
At least I'm not alone.
My westy was originally from France, thought it may have been a French regulation or something.
Where did you get your replacements from Craig?

Hi McNab,
It could be a french reg thing?
You have additional vents on both sides i.e where the fridge is and where the heater is/was?
My mod was done by a previous owner in the past sometime?
Probably to get more ventilation to assist the fridge staying cool and to prevent the condensation rust of the fridge panel!!
I got my replacement vents from eBay ....

They were an exact fit and look miles better than what was on there!!!!
Hope it helps? Good Luck
