Simple and inexpensive roof vent modification (Vent Covers)
Simple project...
I recently decided to add some vent covers on some of my RVs. It was a very simple modification AND the vents were on sale at CW for less than $30 each. It uses a smart bracket system to install such that you don't put any holes in your roof. Having vent covers allow you have keep the vent open when you are driving and also keep it open in any weather. While in storage, you can keep it open and it will allow some air exchange so that inside your RV isn't quite as stuffy or roasting in the summer heat.
Here it is installed:

You can buy this for $6.50 per vent:

Happy Camping all!
