What is this block-off plate for and why would I need one for my Vanagon or Eurovan?

This stainless steel block-off plate is designed to cleanly seal the exterior vent hole left behind when you remove the old refrigerator in your Vanagon or Eurovan camper. If you're upgrading your cooling system or no longer need the factory fridge, this plate provides a durable and finished solution to cover that opening.

How do I install the GoWesty block-off plate for the fridge vent?

Installation is straightforward. You'll remove the exterior flue cover and the old refrigerator. Then, install the block-off plate. You can reinstall the original vent cover over the plate for a factory look, or use it with just the included rubber gasket for a cleaner, minimalist appearance. We recommend adding silicone sealant between the gasket and the van body for extra weatherproofing.

What material is the block-off plate made of, and is it durable?

The block-off plate is constructed from high-quality stainless steel. This makes it incredibly durable and resistant to the elements, ensuring a long-lasting and clean solution for sealing your vent after removing the refrigerator.

Can I use the original vent cover with this block-off plate, or do I need something else?

Yes, you have options! You can install the block-off plate and then reattach your original exterior vent cover for a seamless, factory-original look. Alternatively, you can use the plate with just the separate rubber vent seal for a more minimalist aesthetic. This block-off plate is designed for a good fit and quality finish.

Installation tips: Remove the exterior stainless flue cover to release the flue from the vehicle body. Remove the fridge from the inside. Then, install this plate under the stainless vent cover assembly (or run just the block-off plate and rubber gasket), and re-fasten to the vehicle. Add some silicon between the seal and body for added weatherproofing.
