Camco 40431 RV White Roof Vent Cover

I got two for my Jayco, generally am good about closing it up when I think it is going to rain, but wanted to be able to leave them open when going out for the day, or overnight, with one right over our bed. These are a lot lighter, and smaller than I was expecting. Just thin plastic, but easy to install, and should do the job. These do not mount to your roof, they mount to the little metal flange around your vent sticking up through the roof. Bolts onto L shaped brackets, you bolt onto that flange. So requires drilling 4 holes through the metal flange on your vent. Only problem I ran into was the hardware to attach to the flange is very small. Little screws, little washers, little nuts. I have a stock fan in the bathroom, which takes up most of that space, while trying to get the nut and washers on, dropped a washer into the little space between the fan motor and and edge of the opening. No way that will ever see the light of day again. Also, because of the fan in there, I miscalculated and drilled a bit close to one of the pieces of the fan, so had to put that screw in at an angle, then try to get it as straight as possible after getting it all together. So my advice would be, if you have two openings, and one with a fan, to install the non fan one first. Just harder to do with something besides a screen in the opening. Both open about 45 degrees now, plenty to get some air movement through. In a hard rain, I have doubts it will be dry, the spray can probably get back in there, but in a gentle rain should work perfect. I don't know how they will travel yet. Took a short drive (45 minutes) and they were fine, but they were $16, so if I need to replace them in a few years, not going to break the bank. Perhaps the $100-$150 ones are better, but these were the right price, pretty easy to install, and should work fine.

Great quality for what I paid. You can't beat $21.04 shipped! For the money, definitely get it, you won't beat the price! Installation was simple, I only looked at the instructions for the drill bit size, which was wrong. Granted, I watched the quick installation video to make sure it would work for me. It says use 3/16" bit, but I tested the smaller 11/64" and it fit perfectly as possible! It wasn't too tight that there was any struggle to push the bolt through. You want a tight fit to keep everything as rigid as possible. I liked the quality of the hardware, and wondered if it was stainless steel, so I tested it with a small neodymium magnet. The only one that had a strong magnetism was the lock washer. Everything else I struggled to get it to stick for the picture. It snapped flat to the lock washer and I had trouble pulling it off. The carriage bolt, nut, washer and bracket are barely magnetic, so I'd say a decent grade of stainless steel. The brand stickers come off easily, without residual adhesive residue, and you can move them around, if you desire. The production-dated barcode tag I had to scrape off with my fingernail. Plastic quality seems alright. Sturdy but not too cheap. Like I said, great quality for the money. It has a filter screen to keep bugs and critters out. I bought a Hung's Vortex fan, which also has a screen, so there are 3 screens to catch bugs and dust from coming in or out. If you're concerned enough and don't get a flush mount to your roof, you could add weather stripping around the edges to help keep leaks and bugs out. You may need to bend the brackets down before final installation. All the hardware you need is: drill/bit and wrench or socket and ratchet for the nuts. With the lock washers, you don't need the screwdriver for the inner, small bolts. Make sure the brackets are mounted parallel to the roof, or you could crack the plastic if you tighten the nuts too much. Try to drill in the middle of the hole so you can adjust it later. You could upgrade the nuts to wing nuts if you plan to take it off for the winter if you're using a cover or for clearance while driving.

Ordered three of these RV vent covers and they fit and work just as good as the other brand. The installation is straight forward with L brackets attaching to the existing aluminum vent frame. The included hardware consists of nuts, bolts, washers, and lock washers. Drilling is required for proper installation.

Great replacement and easy to install .

I CHANGED OUT THE EXHAUST FAN IN MY CAMPER AND ADDED THIS TO ALLOW ME TO HAVE VENTILATION EVEN IN THE RAIN. DELIVERY WAS FAST, PRICE REASONABLE, IT EVEN CAME WITH THE A INSTALL KIT, WHICH WASN'T MENTIONED, ALL IN ALL, WORKS GREAT, EVEN HAS A REMOVABLE REAR SCREEN THAT HELPED ON THE INSTALLATION.

Easy to install, fits great and does its job. We love camco products and this one is recommended.

This item is exactly as described by the seller. Came well packaged and fits perfectly.

We’ll see how it does with the sun. For now it’s okay, plastic is really thick however I don’t know how it will do with the sun throughout the year. Really easy to install.

Good quality and fit my needs exactly. Had to look on-line for installation instructions. It would have been helpful if they had been included with the package. However all fasteners required were included and the install was simple enough.

Good item.

Easy to install, drilling required, but can do the whole install from the roof, just need to raise the vent to the open position till you get the holes drilled. Looks great, now can leave vent open in the summer to prevent head cracking

Fit perfectly. RV tech said it was a good purchase

Was so easy to install. The supplied hardware was perfect. I purchased one to test it over the main vent of the RV and to see how it fits. I’m definately going to buy another one now for the bathroom vent. My only con to it is it’s not tall enough so the vent lid only opens half way. I have it 4 star as I can’t give it 4.5 / 5. I’d say camco lost the .5 star on the height of the cover. But it does seem very durable and seems solid. Maybe camco had a different model that was higher in height but I didn’t see any when searching. I would still purchase another one for my other vent as I mentioned earlier.
