4 year old Forest River vent covers already failed
Trailer is a FR Stealth Toy Hauler. Believe its a 2016 and i got it used a couple years ago. I noticed the roof vent covers were already discolored, brittle, and almost looked furry when the trailer was only 2 years old. They developed small chips and cracks. Seemed like they deteriorated so much faster than my friend's trailer thats a 2003 Warrior and still has the original vents. That trailer sits outside uncovered 24/7. (same with mine)
Does Forest River just use extra cheap products? Imagine there can only be so many manufactures of trailer vents.
Big storm here and went down to the trailer yesterday. Found a vent cover on the ground broke into pieces. I got lucky and judging by the small puddle in the trailer it must have just blown off.
Waiting for sunlight to go down and check on my temp repair. Big heavy blanket in a trash bag with bricks holding it down.
I might finally invest in a MaxAir vent cover for the broken vent. But should probably replace the other 2 vents. I have duct tape on them covering the small holes.
A buddy suggested "heavy duty" vent covers on amazon. I have not searched yet. Curious what brand vent cover you guys/gals would recommend? Also wonder what online trailer shops have the best deals?
There are a couple RV supply shops up here. I try to support them and buy my propane there. Have bought other little parts there over the years. Can give them a call to price check once i learn the brand of vent cover to seek out.
Thanks for any advice!!
