1989 Econoline outside grille plate question

[mlockey]

Greetings --

The outside grille plate that covers the back of the Dometic fridge fell off. Does anyone know where I might find a replacement grill, or if there is a workable solution. I went to Home Depot, but they were too thick and too bulky.

I'm attaching pics.

Thanks
Soon to be on the road.

Did you search on line using your model number? Seems like a piece of expanded mesh metal would work. I believe I have seen screen door protector panels that are made of plastic and could be cut or modified to fit.

Hi, check any rv supply place and you should be able to find a replacement pretty easily. Most of the vent covers are standardized in the rv industry so you will likely find an exact fit. There are lots of online sites as well that may be a bit cheaper. Ebay often has those types of vents available too if you do a little searching.

I'd also check junkyards too.

they often have old RV's hiding in the backs of thier lots, and you may very easily score the right one for darn near free! (offer 'em $5)

Thanks, Patrick, Coultergeist, Donedirtcheap.

All good suggestions. The metal depot seems like a great option!

See ya on the road
