Review on 🔧 Camco 40170 Replacement Vent Lid for Elixir (pre 1994) - Black Polypropylene- High-Quality Replacement Part by Tom Beland

The slotted hinge is ideal for replacement. I can pinch it at the ends so it doesn't rattle when opening. The same chimney cap has the same design as the white ones that were replaced. White ones only last maybe 2 years and once they start cracking it's just a matter of time and wind before they crack completely. And I haven't been on the road in a year. Just sat there. Cordless screwdriver is a plus. The exchange takes a few minutes to check and learn first. Start from within. Remove the screen (two screws), twist and remove the lifting mechanism, being careful not to lose the flat metal clip. Climb up, remove the cover and simply insert a new one. Move backwards and slide the lift mechanism back into the slot in the vent cover. Pay attention to the flat clip, which provides additional stability. Go back inside to center the project. Put everything together and you're done. Note. You don't have to remove the entire bleed metal bushing. But now is the perfect time to seal any cracks or potential tears with rubberized paint. I've never tried a chimney cover so I don't know how it will hold up in the heat and sunlight. I'm very disappointed in how quickly the sun ate up the whites. But I didn't pay for the best. I didn't pay much here either. Just not white again.
