A Camco product with wind speeds of 100 mph and the size of an ice cube!

We ordered these new Camcos after realizing that our original RV covers were broken by several small branches hitting the top of the RV. We have had them installed for several years and just a few weeks ago our camper was hit by 100mph winds (Glen Arbor, Michigan) and hail. At the time I was away from my camper on Mackinac Island, Michigan. When I got back thinking the worst, I climbed onto my 36ft RV and a lot of the plastic drain covers were broken, but the Camco was intact (I have two holesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • communication with seller

The only source I know of for my 1987 Fleetwood

All other Revain models don't have the hinge I need. However, the open/close handle slot is too wide for my 1987 Fleetwood Prowler. I fixed this because I am a chronic do-it-yourselfer and made five folds in a strip of sheet aluminum and made a screw cap that narrowed that groove. -- My 4-star rating reflects other thoughts. (For me I give 3 stars if it's something in between or exactly what I expected.) - Aside from that small tweak, I find this lid to be easy to install - 5/5 stars. -- Valueโ€ฆ

wonderful product. but

it arrived and i was impressed with the quality of the finish. Seems to be holding up well. Easy to install if you follow the instructions on the box. works perfectly. A good product. But now. the center strut to which the drive arm is attached is installed upside down! I read that but bought them anyway (2) and indeed mine came out on my head. The tension spring plate on the arm will now rotate and fall off because the flange is not on top of the actuator arm. If you're developing a productโ€ฆ

Pros
  • durable finish
Cons
  • will do

Great replacement

Great replacement. I bought two replacement units, one for the dining area and one with a fan for the bathroom. This product is much thicker and more rigid than the original thin nameless skylight. I bought two units, one for the dining room and one for the bathroom. Easy installation for canteen: (1) Remove the screen, two screws; (2) remove handle, one screw; (3) remove the outer frame, four screws; (4) Remove the crank mechanism and remove the two screws from the old skylight. From the roof,

  • This is awesome

Easy to install, much more durable than factory!

I bought this for my 2017 Rockwood Mini Lite. Although only two years old, the front air vent cover was badly damaged and eventually ripped during a small hailstorm (the size of a pea) one night. Luckily I was in the trailer when it happened and was able to close the rift. with Eternabond before water penetrates. I ordered this vent cap from Revain on Tuesday and received it on Thursday morning. The polycarbonate material is MUCH tougher and more durable than the factory coating, so I expect it

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Non automatic

Beautiful, strong, easy to install

The vent cover on my two year old caravan was so bad it fell apart and had to be replaced. Instead of paying big bucks to take it to a repair shop, I decided to look online for a few options. I started with the $10 version but saw it first and thought it cost a little more for a heavier and more durable product. I'm happy with that decision - this item was immediately noticeably stronger and more durable than the one I was replacing. The shape is a bit more boxy but still fits the hole well and

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging

Great roof vent cover replacement/upgrade

Our 2006 Toyhauler plastic roof vent covers wore out and you could see it didn't take long to put your finger in. them with very little effort. On the last hike, the front was missing when we arrived at our destination!? The top just broke off and fell off. So she did her research and ordered 3 to replace all the vents. To install, you need to unscrew 4 screws that secure the plastic cover of the "firmwareโ€ inside. Then unscrew the hand crank. Then loosen two more screws holding the shieldedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High test scores for support and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
