There were not any reviews so I wasn't sure if this would fit or not...pleased to say it fit perfectly. We have a larger Dometic brand refrigerator with the outside vents that seem to attract nuisance wasp/mudd daubers during summer months in Florida. To install, simply unlock the outside access panel...insert the three provided screens which are made from a sturdy aluminum and pre-cut to fit perfectly...then use the supplied 'quick ties' to secure. Clip the vent back in place...viola' - no more mudd daubers!

This product did NOT FIT my RV Domestic refrigerator - simply 1/4" too long. However, with a couple of hours of hard work, I was able to bend/cut one end of each screen to achieve a near-perfect fit. Perhaps I just should have returned this product, but I was not at all sure that another screen set from any source would fit and I generally dislike returning products. If this product had fit without the lengthy modification, I would have rated it a four or five star product - good utility and durability for the price.

This product fit perfect in the refrigerator vent slots. I would recommend using more plastic zip ties than were provided to make sure that you get a tighter fit. There is also no hole for the vent tube so you have to make sure you secure it to the top of one of the vents.

Great product minus the fact that I needed to cut a hole for the drain. I was simple to add. I also add additional ties over the limited number provided.

These are quite important for keeping flying insects out, who could build a fairly sizable nest inside the refrigerator compartment and possibly destroy the tubing inside, perhaps even causing a fire if the nest is built near the boiler. RV refrigerators are costly ($1409 and up), so making sure screens are installed will go a long way to protecting one's investment.

Installation was a no brainer on the outside of my Dometic refrigerator's vent door -- use the included zip-ties to anchor the screens in place. It would have been nice to get more zip ties (3 more would have been great) to ensure the screens are better anchored, but the two do a decent enough job. Worst case, a couple wire twist ties from a garbage bag can help.

The screen is of good, sturdy quality. However, the ends are rounded and thus leave a rather large opening at the corners of the vent slots. The opening is large enough to allow entrance for any insect, I had to cover the corners with aluminum tape to close the holes.

The screens fit well on the vents but there were only 2 wire ties per screen in the package. I used 3 wire ties per screen in order to keep the screen snug against the vent. I had to modify the screens (bend it a little) in order to accommodate a larger available wire tie. No big deal, but took longer to install. Still works great!

Quick and easy to install. Keeps the wasps and mud dobbers out of the vents.
