Replacing a RV Roof Vent & Installing a Roof Vent Cover DIY

If you're thinking about replacing your RV roof vent or just installing a roof vent cover you may want to watch this video before doing so. Note: Before replacing your roof vent make sure you check your opening size & roof depth prior to ordering.
We installed vent covers on our last RV and there are several advantages for doing so and its so easy to do: The roof vent cover will allow you to have your standard and fan vents open if its raining outside for movement of fresh air; It allows you to have roof vents open for fresh air flow inside the RV while driving without damaging your roof vent cover from the winds; And to protect your roof vent from UV damage.
NOTE: Links to the products I used, videos mentioned are located below, and much more.

    Awesome. We’re getting antsy, and are ready to go camping. But it’s still too cold here in Utah. Had some rain and hail today.

    Yeah hopefully we can meet up someday :) You sure have lots of snow, I don't know how I would handle not being able to get out and camp as much as we do not mention having to shovel snow all the time.

    Also could use a heat gun set on low or a quality hair dryer to remove excess sealant tape
