Question What is it? What does it do?

When I parked the trailer a disc shaped object came flying off the roof, yes we were having high winds.
MY son got on roof of trailer to put this object back on as we noticed a place t o screw it on in front of the Vent. While he was on Roof he noticed the same thing behind the from AC unit so he made sure that one was on tight.
Is this some kind of vent system?? Opening appears to go from the vent in bathroom to behind front ac so it goes over the bedroom area, no tanks to vent there.

I am puzzled anone have any ideas?? Or do I call Forest River??

A picture would be worth a thousand words...so this is a guess. There are plumbing vents that go to the roof and (unlike home vents) they have caps on them.

you have to link the pic from a 3rd party pic hosting site, like Photobucket.

WOW! i didn't know our forum had that feature. none of the other 5 RV forums i'm on, don't have this feature and you have to use a 3rd party pic hosting site.
like RV.net/Open Roads Forum, Hybrid Explorer and a few others.

i've been linking all my pics since i've been a member. i'm going to start uploading a bunch of pics now. thanx, Triguy.

Triguy, can you use this feature in the Galleries?

Hey Dan! I agree - Much nicer feature than a lot of other forums

Your personal albums are slightly different but do essentially the same thing through the upload feature when you go into one of your albums.

It didn't Robert. Here are the instructions to upload a picture from your hard drive (PM me if you need any more help).

  • Click reply to your thread and scroll down to bottom of text box.
  • Click "go advanced" add text to message window.
  • Either scroll down further and click "Manage attachments" or click that icon that I posted above. A separate window will pop up.
  • Click "browse" Then select the file to be uploaded. You may select several photos to upload at the same time by repeating the last step.
  • Click "Upload" After pics have loaded close the pop-up window
  • Click "submit reply" to mount the text of your message - photos will automatically appear at the bottom of your post.
Hope this works!
