Vent covers

We are thinking of getting covers for the vents on our RV roof. Then we can leave the vents open during the rain.
Any disadvantages to doing this?

  • I have them on every trailer I have owned.  part of the sales deal.. it is nice to have them open and not worry about closing them when it rains, or to levve them cracked a bit while driving to pull some heat out. well worth it in my opinion

  • No real downside.

    What's nice is we can travel with the vents open. If they are closed, it's like a hot box when you set up. By keeping them open, it sucks the hot air out continuously, so it's not nearly as hot when you get to your camp.

  • Like RockyMt, mine doesn't open the lid quite as far. But I don[t see it as much of a detraction. I am much happier with the cover installed.

  • I have mine covered, works well. The lid does touch the cover but not enough to worry about.
