Get Maxxairs.
Hmmm ... I wonder why vent lids can't be made of polycarbonate, AKA Lexan???
Even if vent lids were longer lasting, vent covers should always either be installed right away by new owners, or come stock on all RVs from the manufacturer ... because:
1. How are you going to keep the vent lids all the way or part way open for interior ventilation during rain, snow, and hail storms?
2. How are you going to keep the coach interior dry when you have left vent lids open for ventilation when away from the RV and rain starts before you can get back to the RV?
3. How are you going to keep vent lids from getting damaged or ripped off when you have them open for whatever reason - when either in the RV or away from it - and unexpected high wind gusts occur?
