Why install roof vent covers....

[Powder Hounds]

Hello,

This travel trailer is sitting in my storage yard and I noticed today that the roof vent had been damaged and is now rendered useless.

We have had record heat in western Canada and is now being followed up with intense thunder, lightning and hail storms. I would venture to guess this trailer will be seriously compromised.

Since that's a stick built trailer, it may not be salvageable, depending on how much rain gets it there and what's under the vent. Sad.

Hi PH, didn't know you were a fellow Canuck from Western Canada. We reside in the N Okanagan Valley, T peaked at 112 F (44 C) for a few days last week. (For US readers, AC in homes is not ubiquitous, even in newly built ones. For locals who have AC equipped TTs, there are numerous reports of living in them last week!) Maybe this hottest ever T will be one of those where were you when memories...

As I have reported, my CL had a leak, probably from purchase in late 2013, due to incorrectly sized roof plumbing vent covers (grrr QC Scott T!). However, damage wise to interior = nil, of course!
Best wishes. GK
