Roof Vent Covers

Looking into adding roof vent covers to our motorhome so we can leave the vents open and not worry if it rains. Have you added them to your RV and do you like them? What brand did you get? Will it still allow the roof vent to open all the way? Thanks :)
  • Search this Forum for `Maxxair' and read on. We've had them since day one and wouldn't be without them, or a slide cover.
  • All our vents (five) have Maxx-Air covers. Through any storms they have been great. The vent under the cover opens about 80%. If you're comfortable getting on the roof, they are easy to install.
  • We use Camco Areo-flo roof vents. $30.00 on Amazon. I have the blacked out ones to keep the light out. Easy to install, easy to open and clean and are a lower profile but still has good air movement. Our vents are opened year round, except when A/C is on, and no water intrusion even while towing.
  • MaxxAir here too. They come in two sizes. Make sure you buy the correct one....Dennis
  • Our Maxx Air vent covers work very well even in the extreme storms that we get in Florida. During some of our intense storms the rain is coming sideways and we have yet to get any water inside the coach. I believe Adventure RV has them on sale for around $22 each.
  • Added two MaxxAir covers in black. They work well, especially when it rains and we want to use the Fantastic Fans. They do not open quite 100%.

    We would have liked to add a third cover in the rear bath (where it's needed the most!) but the coach manfacturer put vent pipes in the way and there isn't enough room. You might want to check to make sure you have unobstructed space for your covers.
  • They are very common. Ours has the Maxx Air on all three vents. The vents do not open 100%....probably closer to 80% or so but good enough.

    I will like them a lot better when they are painted to match the coach. The glaring white is very ugly.
