SJRV FV3000 12V Caravan Fridge Vent with Twin Fans – 250 × 490mm Cut-Out

Caravan Fridge Vent with Twin 12V Extraction Fans

Help move accumulated warm air out of your refrigerator compartment with the SJRV FV3000 caravan fridge vent. Its two built-in 12V fans provide active extraction behind the fridge, supporting airflow through a suitably designed installation.

The FV3000 combines a ventilation grille and twin fans in one wall-mounted assembly. It uses a 250 × 490mm cut-out, with an overall frame measuring 278 × 518mm and a depth of 58mm.

All height and width measurements below are stated as Height × Width.

Currently available in white. Black is unavailable.

Twin Fans for Active Heat Extraction

A caravan refrigerator releases heat as it cools its contents. If that heat remains trapped behind the unit, the surrounding compartment becomes warmer.

The FV3000’s twin fans help draw warmed air out through the vent rather than relying solely on natural airflow.

The fans are built into the vent assembly, providing an integrated alternative to mounting separate extraction fans behind a passive grille.

Provide a Clear Replacement-Air Path

Powered extraction works with an inlet that allows replacement air into the fridge compartment.

Where the refrigerator’s installation uses lower and upper ventilation openings, air enters through the lower opening, passes the cooling components and leaves through the upper outlet.

Position the vent to serve the refrigerator’s heat-release area and keep the airflow path clear. Vent location, cabinet clearances and inlet capacity all influence the result.

Cut-Out Size and Overall Dimensions

• Wall cut-out: 250mm high × 490mm wide.

• Overall frame: 278mm high × 518mm wide.

• Overall depth: 58mm.

The wall cut-out is the opening required for installation. The overall dimensions describe the outside of the complete vent assembly.

The FV3000 has the same listed cut-out and overall height and width as the passive FV2000. Its 58mm depth is greater than the FV2000’s 42mm depth, allowing for the powered assembly.

For replacement installations, compare the opening, fixing arrangement and available rear clearance before fitting.

12V DC Fan Operation

The built-in extraction fans require a 12V DC electrical supply.

Plan an appropriate wiring route and accessible connections as part of the installation. Follow the supplied electrical instructions for connection and circuit protection.

The vent fans provide airflow around the refrigerator installation; they do not supply power to the refrigerator itself.

White Exterior Finish

The FV3000 is currently supplied in white for a clean finish on your caravan or motorhome exterior.

Although some existing product photographs may show black, the black version is currently unavailable.
