A specialised, easy-to-install privacy and shade barrier designed to shield your caravan's fridge vents from direct sunlight, significantly improving cooling performance in the Australian heat.
The Coast To Coast Fridge Vent Sunscreen is a clever solution to one of the most common caravanning issues: an inefficient fridge on a hot day. By creating a shaded micro-climate over the external fridge vents, this screen prevents the sun from over-heating the cooling fins, allowing your fridge to work more effectively and consume less power. This specific model features an integrated sail track (keder) edge, making it a "slide-in" accessory that provides a neat, professional look without the need for bulky frames. Crafted from high-density, UV-stabilised mesh, it offers the perfect balance of shade and essential airflow.
Key Features
-
Integrated Sail Track Edge: Features a 6mm keder (spline) that slides directly into a pre-installed sail track, allowing for a secure, tool-free setup and pack-down.
-
High-Density Shade Mesh: Engineered to block out up to 90% of heat and glare while remaining breathable enough to ensure the fridge vent still "breathes" correctly.
-
Improved Fridge Efficiency: By keeping the ambient temperature around the vent lower, your fridge doesn't have to work as hard to maintain cold internal temperatures.
-
UV-Stabilised Construction: Built to withstand the harsh Australian sun without fading, stretching, or becoming brittle over time.
-
Stainless Steel Eyelets: Reinforced bottom corners with corrosion-resistant eyelets allow you to peg the screen out at an angle for maximum airflow.
-
Heavy-Duty Hemming: Double-stitched edges provide extra durability and a clean finish that resists fraying in windy conditions.
-
Universal Fit for Vents: Sized specifically to cover most standard large and small caravan fridge vents (check dimensions for specific compatibility).
Best For
-
Summer Travellers: Who struggle to keep their fridge cold when the sun is hitting the side of the caravan.
-
Off-Grid Campers: Looking to reduce the power draw of their 12V or 3-way fridge by improving passive cooling.
-
Caravan Owners: Seeking a neat, integrated look that doesn't require permanent screws or bulky external covers.
