Roof Vent Lid Replacement... January 08, 2019, 12:15:49 pm I have a 1998 mid-bath and my vent lid has some cracks around the edges. It's a crank style and also seems to be "off the track." It's closed now so I'm not concerned as it also has a roof vent cover over it. Currently, I'm in Deming, NM but drove back to Las Cruces to get a replacement. I actually called Lazy Daze and the woman I spoke with talked to the representative at an RV supply store. She said to buy the one with "clips," but the rep at the supply store told me it was probably another model that fits 80% of the RV's. (I bought the one the Lazy Daze person recommended.)It's freezing cold in Deming and I'm not getting up on the roof to take off the cover and check at the moment. I was hoping to get a replacement and have a friend install it for me in Mexico. Apparently even in Lazy Daze RV's this isn't a "universal fit." Any suggestions?

I just need the vent cover, not the whole assembly.
Re: Roof Vent Lid Replacement... Reply #3 – January 08, 2019, 02:02:01 pm With older rigs, the type of rod vent can be different. I believe 1999 was before LD started using Fantastic Fans.You many need to remove your old vent lid and match it at a well equipped RV shop. Make sure the crank-up track is the same or can be transferred to the new lid. While you are at it, replace the crank-up mechanism too, they wear out and are cheap to replace. The crank mechanisms come in variations, it's best to have the mechanism in hand to match it.Larry 3 Likes
