Vent covers

Moved from DIY

They are a "must have" if you RV in snow.

X2 + I just returned from FL after installing these on my bathe and main coach powered vents and they Allen me to leave the nets one and keep the interior cool while traveling and the air flow is better, noise is down and vent covers aren't flapping. I wish I would have installed them many hers ago on previous rigs.

That would be the very first mod I would make if my new TT did not come with them installed already. I added them to my older HTT after we had it 2 or 3 years. I was very glad I did because one of the original crank up vent covers literally fell apart on the next trip. It left small pieces of plastic just laying on the screen. If I had not installed the new covers I would have had an open hole for rain to enter. It is hot and sunny in NM and the original covers just could not take it. As others have said, you can't crank open the original covers all the way but I can't tell that it affects the air flow much. By the way, I did replace the crank up cover so I could close the vent if desired.

I had a similar cover put on both my vents on my Jayco flight before I picked it up from dealer when I bought it. sure makes it nice to be able to run vent fan when it is raining and not worry about getting wet inside. Also nice to leave vents open when parked at home, to help keep the heat from being horrid, without worrying about rain. Must not be an issue, because my dealer didn't hesitate to include installation as part of purchase deal.

You won't be able to open your vent all the way, but they keep the rain out. Air flow is reduced some I have found.

fantastic fan makes their own covers for their fans now.....

If you are trying to cover a Fantastic Vent fan, that is not the recommended model cover. MaxAir makes a cover called the FanMate which is designed for "high power" roof fans such as those produced by Fantastic. We have two and they work well.
