Mud Dauber/Insect Screen for Winnebago VIEW

Yes they make them. Do a search on Amazon for RV fridge screen. There are several different models.

I cannot find one for my specific model. The dealer where I purchased it sold me the wrong one and he's not even sure.

Seems this will depend more on the brand of fridge than make/model of the RV. For example, this Amazon link specifies fridge brand as Dometic. But it also specifies the size of the screens, and the measurement to check. The pic on Amazon looks like this:



This Amazon link is for Norcold brand and looks like this:



Only 03 screens in the Norcold kit, though. That'll double your cost, the Dometic kit is 06 screens.

I'm not sure why the vents (therefore screens) have to match the brand of fridge. But they might, could be the fridges have different vent specs.

Since it's Winnebago, you could pull up your parts list on line and probably see the manufacturer of the vent parts.

Just purchase some window screen material (Home Depot/Lowes etc) and attach to inside of access vent covers

Keep in mind that AIR FLOW is critical to fridge function and you will need to keep any screens on those vent covers CLEAN....CLEAN
Otherwise you will have cooling issues and possible overheating problems

AIR FLOW is critical!

I,d worry more about air flow than bugs. frig needs good vent.

Good luck finding any for the fridge.

I had a 2015 View 24V and never did find any for it. Also I never understood why Winnebago put the fridge in with a top side vent. This vents the fridge right under the edge of the awning. There was no reason for doing a side vent. It should have been a roof vent. A roof vent is much more effective on cooling than a side vent. The side vent should only be used when the fridge is in a slideout which on our units is not the case.

I'm having trouble finding one for my 12CF fridge in my Nexus. It has the center section of vent with a smaller opening on each side. The only thing I could think on it would be getting 2 sets and cutting one set in half for each small section.

Structural issues with roof?

Update on this subject. I was at the RV dealer today and he said they do not make an aftermarket vent cover for these 2017 yet.

The parts manager said cooling is critical like some of the others have mentioned and he did not put any on his personal motorhome unit and said he just checks it frequently for mud daubers and other insects.

The vent is the same one that was on my 2015 so I don't know what your RV dealer is talking about. They are coming out with the 2018 models already so how many years does it take? I think it is more likely they only put out ones for the most common fridges and if there are not enough sold it isn't worth their time to make one.

I don't know, but the roof was a full walk on roof so your guess is as good as mine.
