I keep my fridge vent covered except while in use.  Pictures of the cap can
be seen on my web page.

I bought this from some guy at a VW show that apparently buys caps at
Camping World or some other RV supplier, then sprays them black.  This can
save you a few bucks off the VW price.

Subject: Fridge question:

Is it ok to cover the vent on the outside of the westy at all times when not
using the fridge? The manual recommends doing so when washing the vehicle,
so I figure it can't hurt. Is this sound logic?

Also - any recommendations for wiper blades? The rains have returned to
Oregon and my blades have started to squeak.

Thanks!
