Title: Roof Vent Cover Replacement
Post by: PYG RYDR on August 12, 2017, 10:16:28 AM
While camping 2 weeks ago, I noticed the front plastic Roof Vent Cover had a hole near the edge.  Not leaking rainwater yet.  Was surprised since my camper is a 2016 model.  I ordered 2 of the Heng's 90112-C1 Universal Vent Lid, 14 x 14 Inches - metal. 

Yesterday I replaced the broken plastic vent cover with the new metal one, and it was an exact fit.  The broken one was only 1-1/2 years old, but the plastic was brittle and broke easily under pressure.  Glad I went with metal this time.

I am not waiting for the bathroom plastic roof vent cover to break;  I will replace it with a new metal one next week.

I use plexus on the shower dome. If it is fogged you can get a headlight polishing kit and bring it back. I keep plexus on the A/C cover and 303 aero on the vents. So far so good. I also inside store as much as possible. UV and Plastic is bad juju.
