Replacement Vent Cover for 2015 Windjammer 3006WK

Has anyone replaced vent covers in their 2015 Windjammer 3006WK? Two of ours cracked and I am looking for the right replacement. The camper is kept an hour+ away from where we live and we need to replace it this weekend. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you referring to the crank up vent lids?

Any large RV Dealer will have the Lids,BUT Buy and Install "MaxAir II Vent Covers at the same time they have a Several year Warr and have Many benefits,do a Search at the Top of page for Plenty of Info! They are a "First Thing to Do Mod" of any RV! Youroo!!

I needed 2 for my 2012 windjammer. Camping world said I'd have to bring one in so they could look at it. Luckily I had maxxair covers over them.

One nasty Hail storm will make a "Believer" that MaxAir Covers WORK! If installed when RV is New I have never seen a Post where Lids needed replaced or "My RV Flooded because I Forgot to Close the Lid",or "My Lid Cracked/Broke after we Forgot to Close it before Hitting the InterState"! Youroo!!

I just replaced 2 opening vents on my Prism 24G. I stupidly ruined them when, while power washing the roof, I decided to power wash the vents.
I replaced the rear vent with a MaxXFan and air cover.
The hardest part of the job was removing the old units. It's easier if you soften the Dicor with a hair drier or heat gun.

I swear by Maxxairs - I have three on mine (one Maxxair, one Maxxair II and one FanMate).

So, what size did you eventually get? I need to replace a cover, but like the circumstance you were in originally I'm not at the camper. No one actually ever answered with a size...

I was able to get to the camper and remove the cracked cover. My Windjammer has the equivalent to the Camco 40161. The image below shows the hinge and the cover underside. I ordered the "unbreakable" polycarbonate from Amazon. My guess is that the original would be cheaper, but I know that it breaks easily...

It looks like the hinge type is the key to finding the replacement!

Definitely order the MaxAir covers. I have a 2016 WindJammer 3006. My two covers didn't last 10 months before they both broke away at the seam by the hinge. I keep my camper year round at a campground and it rained hard one night and I came out to find a little puddle in the kitchen. Couldn't believe they broke so soon.

After that I will never leave the lot with a new camper without making them throw the MaxxAir covers into the deal.
