Your cart is empty.Wasps, mud daubers and rodents pose a serious threat to the refrigerator vents on your RV. They can enter through the refrigerator vents and cause serious damage by building nests that interfere with air flow.

These easy to install screens will help ensure that your vents stay free from costly invasion by unwanted pests.

I put a lot of thought into where I put these the cable ties. Placement of cable ties is key to staying tight. Putting in wrong place, screen will move. Also I bent screen corners to fit snuggly against vent since I did not have as square a vent as the screens. Sealed well.

The insect screen fits perfectly and was easy to install. My only complaint is that they only send 6 zip ties, which it seems they could send one extra. Sometimes things break or stuff happens. We ended up using a bread tie because we don't happen to have that small of zip ties on hand. Other than that, I felt it was a good buy.

These bug screens were the perfect size for my Norcold RV refrigerator vents. No need to cut to size. Installation was easy enough with the six zip ties provided. I would have liked a few more zip ties to ensure a snug fit as there are some visible gaps where they don't lie flat to the screen. I may add my own in the future. It would also have been nice if they came in black but I plan on spray painting the screens and cover with rustproof paint to ensure the longevity of the screens. Overall, I'm pleased with these screens and their ability to keep wasps and other critters out of the back of the refrigerator space.

Well I did get mine from the warehouse at discount so maybe they normally come with more zip ties (one came with random tools that done go with the set so lol, probbaly) . I had extra on had so I used 3 per section to close all gaps. Fit perfectly. Don't have to blow out the fridge igniter tube thing as much, so clearly doing its job. I used to have to blow it out daily when in use... I still blow out weekly when running propane ( monthy when not) just to be safe.

fit my vent very well. The only thing they could do was provide another couple zip ties.

Strong metal with a perfect fit. Works well keeping flying insects out of the outside rv hot water vent panel. Wish I purchased sooner. Was a little tricky to install the springs onto the panel but I also partly blame my aging eyesight. Highly recommend..

If you order these, I would recommend that you buy a bunch of 4 inch tie rap because those that comes with the screen are on the weak side. They furnish 2 for each screen. I dont wont to loose them on the road so I put 4 ties on each, 24 for the 2 fridge vent panels.

Purchased this for our 2020 Entegra Odyssey 29V RV which has a Norcold Fridge. NIce finish. The width was absolutely perfect. No trimming needed. The length was about 1/4" or slightly less, too short. Not an issue though. It would have been harder to trim it if it was too long because there's a nice thicker edge on the outside of it. I split that 1/4" between the two sides and I am just going to run a bead of clear silicone on the end to fill it where it's slightly too short. Can't even see the screens which is nice. It came with two small clear zipties for each of the three screens which isn't enough to keep it perfectly flush. I had some extras and I used 4 total per each screen which was perfect.

Fits like a glove, should have been standard equipment. Should have sent more zip ties to install them with though.

These fit the panels on my travel trailer, but took a little modification. My little refrigerator needs two full sets of these because it has an upper and lower access panel. These were a little too large for the access panels so I had to cut them down some. I installed them with some galvanized wire that I had instead of the zip ties. That gives me a more solid installation and should last longer. Once installed they work as they should.

This was installed on my 2008 Four Winds Siesta refrigerator vent. It goes on the OUTSIDE of the vent. So to install you take off the entire vent and place the screen over each opening and use those plastic tie-cords to hold it in place, then cut the cord to fit. My concern was that 1 or 2 of the screens was bent just a little that after the ties were in place, there was a little space that maybe a bug could fit through. So I got more of my own plastic tie-cords to place where needed. This comes with 2 cords for each screen, but I used 4 cords for each screen. So I have driven the RV and they stayed in place and no bugs!

I bought this screen after a recommendation for or RV dealer. The dealer had the screens in stock but at higher price. I received these screens in a few days from Amazon and had to straighten out two of them that looked like they were bent before going in the box. Anyway, installation was a breeze since you just use small zip ties to hold them on the the vent cover. I'll have to pick up a few more zip ties to anchor down the bent areas that are creating small gaps but overall, this is a great product and a small price to pay to prevent bugs from clogging the gas orfice tube.
