Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Camco 40170 Replacement Vent Lid for Elixir (pre 1994) - Black Polypropylene- High-Quality Replacement Part by Bryce Marshall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It came fast! Ease of installation.

I couldn't believe it when the first original air vent cover on my 2017 RV shattered in the wind! (Forest River cuts so many corners!) After doing some research, I ordered this replacement and after seeing on YouTube how easy it was to remove the old cover and put the new one on, I made mine in no time. It was so easy that after looking at the other two caps I bought two more and replaced them. And I even installed MaxAir II covers in all three positions (cabin, bed, bathroom) three years ago. All I can say is that the original white plastic lid did not withstand UV and/or heat, but being in PNW, not the extreme temperatures found elsewhere. In any case, feel free to change the covers when your RV is around 5 years old so it doesn't blow up during a family trip or, god forbid, a storm if you don't have a cover. over him. Let's see how long he lasts. Allegedly UV-resistant. We will see. At least it's made in the US, so maybe it is.
