Re: Vent Covers Reply #1 – July 17, 2023, 11:52:34 am Hello Julie and welcome to this Neighborhood. If you’re looking for a replacement for the standard 14†X 14†vents, then something like this would work. Amazon.com: Camp'N 14" Universal RV, Trailer, Camper, Motorhome Roof Vent...A little bit of searching will give you other color options. And any local RV retail store will have these as well. 1 Likes As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.
Re: Vent Covers Reply #2 – July 17, 2023, 12:25:36 pm Hi Julie, Welcome to the FOLD, Family Of Lazy Daze owners! The covers are industry standard and can be purchased on-line from many vendors. The Fantastic Vent van cover is best obtained through that company. The hardest one to replace is the bathroom sunroof. Used to be that was obtainable from the factory. Todd Miller who used to work for the factory, did have some spare parts left over that he had for sale. The other hard to replace cover for your year is the escape hatch over the cabover bed. The pull down menu under "Community" has a 'search' feature and you can follow those past threads for comments. Many people choose to upgrade the fans and vents. And/or put covers on the roof to protect the vent covers. In 2008 Ventline changed the hinge design. You need vent covers that match the present hinges on your frames. Lazy Daze made sure that the vent frames wouldn't leak and the metal frames are extremely hard to replace. Here is one past reference into that topic: Replacing the fan vent cover The 2000 came standard with a swamp cooler just forward from the fantastic vent fan. Do you still have that? Many people replace that with a standard vent, RonB 2 Likes
Re: Vent Covers Reply #3 – July 17, 2023, 01:11:49 pm Hi Ron,Thank you so much for helping me with this. The one I need is the one in the bathroom. Go figure. I do have a leak on the emergency hatch over the cab, but I work for a roofing company and one of the guys here says he can redo my roof for me, so I think that will help there. I guess I might just need to replace the entire vent in the bathroom then. I greatly appreciate you responding. Sincerely, Julie
Re: Vent Covers Reply #4 – July 17, 2023, 01:28:48 pm Hi Julie; The escape hatch cover isn't a residential item, and there shouldn't be an issue with the roof in that location. Ultraviolet (sunlight) radiation unlinks the polymer plastics and they turn into the consistency of 'potato chips'! Your Air conditioner rooftop shroud will also need replacing unless it has been already replaced. The same with roof seams and seams around the vents, (and refrigerator vent) pipes, TV antenna, and roof ladder supports. RonB 1 Likes
Re: Vent Covers Reply #5 – July 17, 2023, 02:32:48 pm Welcome aboard Julie.My rig is about half the age of yours. I was concerned about rain coming in with the vents open and put these covers over them.If you're going to be up there replacing the vents, you might consider these while you're at it.I found I could travel with the vents open, and leave them open in the rain (short of a gale blowing directly from the aft).Safe travelsJoel 1 Likes As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.
Re: Vent Covers Reply #6 – July 17, 2023, 02:47:18 pm "The Fantastic Vent fan cover is best obtained through that company."While Fantastic is a well known product, MaxxAir is, in my opinion, a much better choice, You can get only the covers, if that is your immediate goal, or you can opt to go whole hog and replace one or more fan units which have integral covers.https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-RV_Vents_and_Fans-sf-Roof_Vent-pm-MaxxAir.aspx?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj_2Cs7OWgAMVxhKtBh2SnQKIEAAYASAAEgJlt_D_BwE 1 Likes
