Escape hatch cover

I am not sure if this is posted in the correct section. I have a 2004 Curtis Baja toy hauler. The escape hatch cover is cracked and leaks water when it rains. Went on the roof and measured the outside flange and it is 22x22. I went on amazon and ordered and Hengs/Jensen replacement that is also 22x22 and When i got it, it is too small and the hinge is a different style. Seems like the new cover should be 23x23. I can not find anything that will fit. Is there a way to make a new one myself and use the existing hardware? Any specialty places that may have a lid that will fit?

Thanks for your help.

    Many truck campers use the Heki brand of hatch. They are expensive and I try to avoid having one installed rather than an escape side window.

    Try "rv escape hatch cover". Then chase any mfr or vendor listing them for sale. Most vendors have their own mini store on Amazon, and most are backed by a real storefront you can call for options. And searching for something like "Heng's escape vent" turns up everything that company makes that is sold on Amazon.

    I went to Camping World and the guy took out his catalog and couldn't find it then he did an online search and said my best bet was Amazon. I have searched online and couldn't come up with anything so far. I will keep looking.

    Most dealers have access to a pretty large catalog of RV parts. With the proper measurements and photos they should be able to find a replacement cover. If not might need to replace the part attached to the RV but hopefully not.

    When I put these three words into google, 'rv escape hatch' I came up with a bunch of shopping options, though amazon is great they are not always the best of more obscure parts. Good luck!
