Default EZ way to block air, plastic side vents

For those cold winter days, those plastic side vents sure do seem to leak a lot of air! Here is an easy and effective way to block the air. Use aluminum tape, available from any hardware store.

Default vents

That looks like a good way to completely close off the vent, but if you want control and complete closure, buy a set from Stein.

With the vent open, slide a business card in each side and close the vent.

I don't like the fact that we're already talking about cold weather. Bit as reality sets in, I'm sitting here with a sweatshirt on. I sure do like the RV performance in this weather however!
