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?
I don't know, but the roof was a full walk on roof so your guess is as good as mine.
Perhaps they are trying to keep as much roof space available for solar panels. The dealer installed mine almost where a roof top fridge vent would be.
When I worked at a major RV dealer as a "delivery guide", giving the walk-around and walk-through to new buyers, we always suggested putting a dog flea collar in the fridge and water heater compartments. Bugs, spiders, bees, etc. don't like the smell of it apparently. I've been doing it for over ten years with the different motorhomes I've owned, and never had an insect problem in those compartments. At the beginning of each season I cut a new dog flea collar in half and put a half in the outside fridge and wager heater compartment.
