Roof vents need replacing

After 3 years in the Arizona sun, both roof top vents are crumbling. The fans are ok, so is it possible to replace just the plastic vents?



Thanks,

Jorn
  • Yes, as already posted, they can be replaced..
    Order white ones. They last longer
  • We ordered new ones on line I think thru PPL motorhomes website. I'm sure you can find them on Amazon or E-Bay also.

    Here are the types of vent lids,by the hinge type.

    check yours then you will know which one to get.

    I would suggest getting the Polycarbonate ones they last a lot longer. Also something like the Maxxair covers,they will make your covers last longer in that Arizona sun and you can keep your vents open in any weather.

    If you haven't done it before Here is a short video on how it is done.
  • And while you're at the dealers, take a look at the aftermarket vent covers that will add protection to your new lids, and also let you keep them open when it rains. Well worth the cost and easy to install.
