This is not an advert, endorsement, write-up or put-down of the product mentioned.There is a product called Dent Vent which is apparently a fake vent you can attach to your camper to hide body damage. The kit includes the vent, screws and butyl tape.The instructions say that for larger areas of damage you can mix and match different sizes of vents?My first thought was that this is one of the craziest RV aftermarket things I've ever seen. But maybe I'm not seeing its potential? Is this something that anyone would actually use? Is there really a market for this?

Does not look like anything I would use to cover a dent, but you never know.

HEY.........For the folks that are not DIYs why not......a little butyl tape/6 screwsVoila dent fixed.Course it has it limitations.Hail damage all along one side of RV or 20 vents :H

Not new products such as this and stickers have been around for years. Some people must use them.

I totally missed out on that Car Band Aid phenomenon. Have never ever seen one.

Maybe they were used to cover up the fake bullet hole magnets. :B

I have a book on how to sell your used car for more. It was written in about 1975, it says to hide a dent in your RV, add a vent cover... what's old is new again...

I wonder how many of these you can put all over your camper before anyone would get suspicious? :B

I had a Travel Trailer once that had something like that. It had a household furnace outlet vent screwed to the side of the RV. I couldn't figure out what it was for and upon removing it I found that someone had poked a small hole in the side. After bending the hole shut as well as they could and using calk to fill in the rest they put a vent over the hole to make it look better.

I must admit it looked better the the hole. I put it back on and used it that way for years.

I wonder if the Dent Vent people read the same book and thought "Wow....we should totally invent that, patent it and make a gazillion bucks".
