297RSTS New Owner Questions. Roof Vents
Upgraded from a Forest River to the Grand Design after much research and have some quick questions on the roof vent covers. On my FR the roof vents disintegrated in two years so I am looking to cover the kitchen and bathroom vents with Maxxair type covers. Does anyone know which vent cover has enough clearance for the auto fan cover in the kitchen? I don't want it to open and get squished by the cover not being tall enough. The bathroom should not be an issue as it will be manually opened. Also is the skylight over the kitchen island likely to be damaged by UV and if so is there a cover solution for it?
Thanks

Use the Maxx Air Fanmate cover. It is made to clip into the existing posts on the vent.
The skylight is what it is....it will dry out over time, but their really isn't anything you can do about it.Steve- Inventory Manager at Tom Schaeffer's RV, Shoemakersville, PA www.tomschaeffers.com

I’m not sure if the vent cover I bought for the MaxxAir fan vent was a Fanmate as huntr70 stated, but it was the larger model of the two. The electronic vent cover will come into contact with the additional one added, but will not damage anything. It is open almost all the way. Love the vent covers.

Hi! Cahriad had the same problem with the vents on my FR trailer. I had the Maxxair vents installed just because of that close call.
