Battery compartment vent replacement?

Hope you guys can help. I just acquired a new to me older 5th wheel. There are several trim items that have deteriorated from the sun damage. I have found replacements for most thing except the dang outside vent from the battery compartment. It is about 3x4 inches and had a down spout like vent with screen so the rain wouldn't run in. I've searched everywhere. I saw a post here about a bilge vent but those don't look the same. I am requesting your knowledge on where to find one or what exactly the dang thing is called.

Thanks guys and gals

  • I had to replace mine too. Had a lot of trouble finding the 'exact one'. Finally I found the exact replacement on ebay. In my case it was this one Battery Box Vent.I believe I just searched for 'RV battery vent'. Ran into the same issue with my slide out seals. couldn't find what i needed. Searched on Amazon and there they were. Definitely worth a try.

  • Yes one of those will probably work for me. I've yet to find one exactly like the one that sun rotted. Thanks for the links guys.
