00:00If you've ever opened your motorhome fridge in the middle of winter and found it's basically
00:04as cold inside as it is outside, I feel your pain. Those little vent-closing caps on the
00:09back of your don't-tick fridge? They snap, they crack, they fall off somewhere on the motorway,
00:15and suddenly your fridge is fighting a losing battle. So I went digging and found the 5 best
00:20deals out there on don't-tick fridge vent parts, and honestly, some of these are cheaper than a
00:24cup of coffee. Let's get into it. Kicking things off at number 5, we've got this 5-pack of 3D
00:31printed vent-closing caps for don't-tick and Electrolux fridges. 4,500 sold and a perfect
00:385-star rating, that's not an accident. What I like here is that you're getting 5 of them for $3
00:43.80.
00:455. So when one inevitably goes missing behind the awning, you've got spares sitting in the drawer
00:51instead of watering again and waiting 2 weeks. The 3D printed material has a bit of flex to it,
00:57so it clips on without that horrible cracking sound the originals make.
01:01For under 4 quid, it's genuinely a no-brainer.
01:05Coming in at number 4, this is the 2-pack don't-tick winter-closing clip, part number DS295176600.
01:13Now this one's the closest to the genuine article, it's the proper winter clip designed to seal that
01:18vent when the temperature drops, keeping your fridge running efficiently instead of chugging
01:22through gas. It's $4.60 for two, so slightly pricier per piece, but if you want something
01:28that matches the factory spec exactly, this is your pick. Nearly 4,700 sold with a 4.7 rating.
01:36If you're doing proper cold weather touring, this is the one I'd grab.
01:40Number 3 is another 5-pack of 3D printed-closing caps for don't-tick and Electrolux,
01:45same $3.80 price point, 4.8 stars, and over 4.5 thousand sold.
01:51What sells this one for me is the finish. The layer lines are tight, so it doesn't look like
01:56a bodge job stuck on the side of your van. It sits flush, it holds firm, and it does exactly
02:02what the original does at a fraction of the cost. If you're replacing a full set across both upper and
02:08lower vents, five pieces is usually plenty to sort the whole lot in one go.
02:12At number 2, we've got the budget champion, five caps for $3.05. That's about $0.60 a clip.
02:21And before you think cheap means nasty, it's sitting at 4.8 stars with over 4.5 thousand sales.
02:27Honestly, if you're just after functional replacements and you don't need anything fancy,
02:32this is the smartest money on the list. Buy two packs, keep one in the van,
02:36one in the shed, and you will never think about vent clips again. Best value here by a decent margin.
02:43And taking the top spot, this five pack at $4.64. Yes, it's the most expensive on the list,
02:50buy about a dollar and a half, but the feedback on these is consistently about how solid they feel.
02:56Thicker printing, tighter tolerance, and they grip properly even after a few seasons of sun and rain,
03:01which is where a lot of cheap plastic clips go brittle and snap. 4,200 sold, 4.8 stars.
03:08If you want to fit them once and genuinely forget about them, spend the extra dollar.
03:14It's the one I'd put on my own van. All five links are down in the description,
03:19so grab whichever one suits you, prices do move around, so it's worth a quick check.

03:31Cheers, and I'll see you in the next one.
