    RV roof vents in 231rk

    I have one of those cheap roof vents the opening mechanism is flimsy at best. Does anyone know the manufacturer of those vents? I would like to know because I know I will be replacing those gears because they strip out pretty easy. I know because we picked up ours brand new and they are replacing all the mechanisms because people were cranking on them.

    The mechanism is similar to this https://www.amazon.com/Ventline-BV01...61722208&psc=1

    GD says no clue because they use a few different places for the vents.

    That is a lowest bidder component - likely "no-name." Have you considered replacing the whole thing with a Fantastic Fan or the like?

    Oh believe my I want to but it is the Wife's camper. No holes drilled and no replacing vents. Best I can do is replace the fan and internal hardware.

    I do plan on doing it in the future and will have to figure that out.

    If you’re not interested in replacing the entire fan and vent cover with a Maxxair or Fantastic fan, here’s another option,

    Maybe you read what I wrote wrong. The opening mechanism is damaged and I believe that fan uses the existing.
