Can anyone recommend where to buy a factory replacement or the dimensions so I can look for a possible aftermarket?

There are only about three types. They are visually distinctive and dimensionally different. Take a photo of yours and measure the overall width and length. Then view them on Amazon and pick the right one. Amazon shows the shape and dimensions. Visit the Camco website to confirm part numbers if desired.
These are real easy to replace yourself.
From the inside, take off the winder knob/crank and take down the screen. Then remove the two screws which hold the windup assembly in place. Slide the windup assembly until it goes off the end of the track on the cover. If there's a clip on the track or assembly, observe how it is placed.
Now, on the roof, look at your new cover. You will see that the hinge is a cavity running across the entire side. At the end are two little tabs which can be bent over. On the old vent cover, take your long nose pliers and unbend the tab at one end (or both) so you can slide the cover sideways off the vent. Then slide the new cover on and bend both tabs. (It's easier to bend one first before installing.)
Return inside and place the end of the windup assembly into the track on the new cover, then mount it with two screws. Replace the screen and the windup handle.
This should take less than 15 minutes.
