NO the roof vent caps need to be removable just in case you need to run a hose down vent line to clear a blockage, replace vent cap due to damage or age.
The vent line should be secured to trailer wall/studs etc. so that the vent line doesn't move.........loose vent line can drop down into tank and become blocked off.
Very few Vent pipes are installed in a rubber slip gasket on top the Tanks. MOST are glued to the top of the tank. So, dropping into the tank is extremely rare even on the ones with a rubber slip gasket. Most vent lines are NOT a straight pipe from top of tank to the roof. They usually have a "Y" or a sink drain pipe connected to them somewhere in the wall. That also keeps the pipe from slipping down IF it has a rubber slip fitting. Doug
