Refrigerator vent cover

MARY ESPINOLA All Messages By This Member #103139 Looking for advice. I have been getting mice in my camper I think they might be able to get in through the vents for the refrigerator. Possibly around the air conditioner? My a/c cover fits both super tight and leaves a bog camp where it meets the wall of the camper. So maybe someone can crawl in? Interested in pursuing suggestion of the Amazon cover with the straps and cord. I thought I might be able to put chicken wire or something inside. I tried to get the covers off by turning those plastic things that look like screws but it doesn’t come loose and I am afraid to force it because the plastic is going on 10 years old. So two questions: Advice on how to open the cover. Would a screen of some type impede the airflow such that it should be removed when we are using the camper? Thanks.

I stuffed that opening with steel wool during the winter. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Sat, Jun 24, 2023, 2:19 PM MARY ESPINOLA <espinolam@...> wrote: Looking for advice.?

Don DeRyke All Messages By This Member #103141 Kathryn, The square locks on the louvers require a 1/4 turn of the screwdriver, in either direction.? The turn only spreads the lock wider so it can't come out.? Once you know how they work, I find them to be very secure. As for entry points, the louvers have rather small openings.? I think a mouse would have trouble entering.? The electric cable opening could be at fault if the cover is open and the little plastic fingers are broken.? Mine didn't last long.? I cut the cable and installed a twist lock shore power socket and plug.? I roll up the cord and toss it in a storage compartment, or on the floor of the camper as I leave.? One other possibility, is there are a couple round plastic drain openings in the floor of my camper.? One near the outside shower, and one in the back of the fridge.? If they have become brittle and broken, it would leave about an inch and a half opening. -- Don DeRyke Sunrise, Florida 2009 Classic, 2020 Ford Escape, 2.0 liter EcoBoost, AWD.?

Plus they are more unlikely if you remove all the food and water before storage. ?
