Hole in Roof Vent Cover

[MSB68]

We have a small hole in the cabin roof vent cover. However, I find no numbers stamped on the cover or the vent, so I don't know what replacement vent cover to buy. I looks like it can be taken apart and just a new cover put on, but not knowing the manufacture of the vent cover, it's impossible to order one. MH is 2015 Georgetown 329. Anyone done this before, please help.

Thanks,

Mike

Your local dealer should have one that fits.
Yes you can just take off the vent lid.
I'd also suggest installing max air covers while your doing the job.

Thank, Turbs. Will a MAX air cover fit on mine? I watched a video on how to install one, but I don't have the same fitting around the vent hole.

[ramair]

they will fit and is easy to install. Most covers are a 14X14 dimension. Hope this helps..

Yes Max Air All the way.

The only vent it may not fit is if you have one very close tot he edge like my bathroom vent.

When we had our Rockwood TT and camped at Navarre Beach, FL, an awful rainstorm came up, complete with hail. It woke our grandson up (he was sleeping on the sofa bed) with the rain dripping down in his head. It turned out the hail had managed to break a small hole in the roof vent. Because it was still raining and tape would not hold as even a temporary measure (still damp), I simply chewed a piece of gum and plugged the hole until we could have the vent cover replaced. It lasted the rest of the week until we got back home to have it replaced. Hey.....necessity is the mother of invention.

Duct Tape.

We lost ours a few week's ago to hail damage. duck tape got us through the night. Camping World had one in stock. they carry three sizes. Added cover to avoid future problems.

Patching the hole with gum is a great fix! I had the entire cover blow off and when it rained the next day, I took the screen and trim off of the inside and stuck a small umbrella up through the vent and opened it. A small bungee held it for 3 days during the rain before we headed home for a better repair.
A small umbrella travels with us all of the time now.

You'll have no more trouble with hail, but temperatures and UV light will eventually destroy the vent lid. It just takes way, way longer time to do it. And no water damage when it finally does break.

Imagine my surprise when I was installing a Vortex fan and found my vent lid in such awful condition!

Love the umbrella idea but didn't you have issues with it trying to blow off when going down the road?

If that vent has a Fantastic Fan in it,,,
You might want to check out the Fantastic Cover ???
Not sure if they still do,,, but they used to make covers in metal ???

No fan, just a plain vent.

And metal lids are available as replacements on some vents, depending on the brand. I went back with a dark tinted plastic lid. I wanted some light, but not a whole lot.

The original vent lid was 8 years old.

Plastic does get brittle after a few years in the sun !!!
I lost one a few years back in a hail storm,,, also lost the Refer vent cover,,,
even though the TT was covered !!! Also had about 20K damage to the house,,,
Roof - Siding and Rain Gutter got it the worst !!!
Man would I love to have a RV Port !!!
