Toilet Roof Vent Replacement Needed
The plastic cap on the roof vent is broken. Can I just replace the cap itself, or do I need to remove and replace the entire unit? Are they universal or do I need a specific make / model / brand? ...

Maybe someone can explain why you would need one, I cannot think of a good reason to have a cap on the vent pipe. I have not had one on my RV or my sticks and bricks house for 15 years and never had a problem.
BTW: trailer is 25 years old so it might have had one at one time but not since I have been the owner.
OK, challange accepted.
When I replaced the cap on mine I happened to glance "inside" the "Pipe" Turns out there is a much smaller pipe inside the larger (I was going to say large but .. Well.. By Stink Pipe Standards it is not that large) so if there is no cap then the rain falls it runs down inside your walls...
But the cap (Which by the way DOES NOT SEAL the top of the pipe) Causes the rain to run off to the sides and drip down OUTSIDE your RV onto the ground where it helps the grass to grow. Instead of inside your walls where it will cause Mold and Mildew to grow.
