I went over to the storage unit today to look over our rv and noticed a broken vent cover laying on the ground a few feet away. Climbing the ladder to check my vent covers, which were fine, I could see the front vent cover missing on a fifth wheel that is parked close to ours. We had some big winds a couple weeks ago, and some big rains since then.
What you describe is exactly why I installed vent covers over the vents on our RV's roof years ago.
Two things drove me to do it:
1. One vent was cracked when we bought it due to the RV sitting in the sun too much at the dealer's lot!
2. Us being out with the RV, going hiking, and it starting to rain, and me remembering that I had left a vent open back at the trailhead!
Now with vent covers we can leave our vents open for ventilation - when it's raining and in high winds and when we're sleeping.
