Hello all, new Bigfoot 10.4 has the single pane fantastic vent covers in smoke. Since the camper is so well insulated thought the 3 vents should match. Inside clearance is minimal so anything ha...

I purchased two of the smoke double domes for my Fantastic fan vents on my TC from a local RV store after getting the part numbers by calling Fantastic Fan, as the RV dealer didn't know they were available. They come in clear as well as other tints. Worth a call to Fantastic Fan. They were ~$25 each in 2006 if my memory is correct.
Best use of the double acrylic vent dome is during the early spring and late fall. Condensation doesn't form on the inside of the cover and it won't drip on you in bed, unlike the single layer version.
For winter camping condensation is greatly reduced, just depends on the outside temperature and amount of moisture in the TC. We also put a piece of closed cell foam or reflectix to further insulate the opening overnight.
Used both a smaller piece to insert under the knob and a larger piece to cover the flange (since it is an uninsulated gap up to the roof). Held in place using 2" wide 14 day removable masking tape (acts as a vapor barrier). New tape each night.
To make your reflectix pieces last longer, fold a piece of 2" wide clear polyester tape (mylar) over the edges.
