14" RV Roof Vent w/ Low Profile Metal Lid 75111-C

UPDATE 4 Nov 2018I must say if I could give this thing six stars I would!! It has survived car washes and works great! I painted mine white and am very pleased with it after a couple of months. The mechanism still works smoothly. I had it mounted as close to the back as feasible in my 1996 Chevy Astro and am very pleased with my decision. A little rain comes through with it open, but just a few drops, so I'm not worried. That's if it rains hard and I have it all the way open [Georgia Summer normal for me]. I definitely recommend this one. If I ever want to replace it with a Fantastic Fan, it will fit in the existing hole. That was a major deciding factor for me, that I could install a Fantastic Fan myself if I wanted to, and I definitely wanted an all metal vent. The trim is plastic, but the vent itself is all metal. It fit in between the last and next to last metal rib at the back of my van. Thanks for a quality product!I received it in a few days and the fella who installed it for me said it was very easy, even though he had not installed one on a van. I love the way it looks. I painted it white to match my van and love the fact that it is solid metal except for the inside collar piece, which is plastic. This slides inside the bottom of the vent, which is all metal. The screen is heavy duty. Solid construction. The mechanism works smoothly. To clean the screen there is the one phillips-head screw in the metal handle. there is a flimsy notched square of sheet metal that fits on the handle to keep the fit tight, but it does the job. I took it apart to paint it and got it back together right the second time. The first time I put the mechanism in I used the wrong set of holes and had trouble with the square shim, but you won't have to disassemble it to clean the screen. I love the metal lid! I read many reviews on fans which have complaints about the plastic lids shattering when hit by tree limbs in storms. Not this lid! And, the vent has the standard size footprint as the Fantasic Fan and other fans I was considering. This vent has holes in the bracket that might accept a small fan, so I'm thinking about installing one temporarily. In the meantime, with this vent at the back of my van and windows down, it keeps the temperature down, since my A/C doesn't work yet.

I installed this roof vent in a 5x8 foot cargo trailer. Installation methods vary due to the construction of the roof bracing is probably why no hardware is included, but I used #8 hex head drill screws to install mine, it takes about 28 of them. My trailer roof frame was boxed for a standard 14" vent like this is. The actual rough opening is 14-1/4" square. The vent is well made, this one is a metal lid; the inner frame is plastic, has a nice, tight screen in it, and the crank mechanism works smoothly The lid will open to about 70 degrees, and closes snugly against a pleated gasket; additionally, the underside of the lid has a thin foam layer that helps seal against the gasket. I haven't tested it in rain yet, but you can see no daylight with the vent closed. There is also an inner trim collar included, it fits under the inside ceiling material to make a finished opening. Very nice touch.The butyl rubber gasket material and Dicor sealant are both available online, but I bought mine at a local camping trailer center for the same price I saw them advertised here; they are common items for sealing pass-through items like windows, vents and drains on camper trailers. There are also myriad Youtube installation videos, after looking at one, it took me about 45 minutes to install my vent, as I have all the tools needed.This roof vent is a nice addition to any trailer where you need ventilation, this is a well-made product and I would definitely buy it again if needed.

well packaged installed well no problems

Replacement roof vent for utility trailer. Easy to install and works great, good and secure fit. Worth every penny. Bought several months ago and very pleased with durability.

Overall quality is good, wish this seller has Prime with faster delivery but it’s okay if you’re not in rush. Compared to plastic vent, i would pay extra $10 to get this one. I would only give 4 stars because the lid is more flexible than i think, material is thin so when it’s on open position, will not straight compare left to right. And you have to buy your own screws and seal, it doesn’t come with screws nor butyl tape for sealing. So far so good with this price :)

I needed a low profile vent because I have a roof rack so I got this one. It came with some light foam inside that I removed and added my own insulation. I also painted it to match the van. It does come with a cover for the inside, but I haven’t installed yet until I finish installing ceiling panels. It’s great! It’s easy to install and functions smoothly.

Very good for enclose trailer 👏👏👏

Used most of the parts to replace a broken one in my camper. So I didn't have to tear out the old frame so it was super easy. I would prefer they paint the metal top white but I guess for the money I can do that. I should have replaced it a year ago if I knew it was this cheap and easy. I bought the materials for seal the new frame but didn't need them as I left the old frame in and used the parts from this one.
