Roof vent install kit allows you to properly mount your RV roof vent and create a waterproof seal. Kit includes 2 tubes of self-leveling sealant, 1 roll of butyl tape, 8 wood screws, and 30 sheet metal screws.Ordered the Vent Installation kit, as well as the vent, to install on an older 6x12 enclosed cargo trailer. The kit is exactly what is needed for a waterproof, clean installation. Butyl tape between the vent bracket and the trailer, then self-leveling sealant over the screws and the perimeter of the bracket-trailer seam. Screws to mount the vent and the decorative trim were also included. I made due with one tube of caulk, but can understand some installs would need two. Same with the butyl tape - used less than 1/2. Of note - first set of butyl tape arrived having been mangled in shipping. etrailer.com were great about immediately sending out a replacement, no questions asked. Great service
Dan - 10/31/2020Perfect except I ordered 3 to put in 3 roof vents, used less than 1 roll of the putty tape and 1 1/2 tubes of silicone. Should have bought 1 and picked up extra screws for other 2.
Randy S - 06/19/2021The sealant is difficult to apply smooth and straight but that should be expected with this type of joint design. The etrailer videos helped with the process. The trick is to carefully apply the sealant where it is needed and do minimal tooling to smooth and fill gaps. No product data sheet is apparently available to understand how to work with the sealant or to provide preparation recommendations, cure times, and safety considerations. No success with locating the product data on the internet or the manufacturer's site. The butyl tape should be shipped flat or attached to a flat sheet of cardboard. When I opened the box it was molded into to a taco shape and had to be set out overnight to creep back into a flat roll. I did not use the carbon steel self tapping screws.
Jeff - 07/17/2020Received my Maxx Fan and roof vent kit on Monday 6/17/19 right on time and everything was their and in good condition. I installed the Maxx Fan on my 2017 GMC cargo van the same day, took me a little longer than I thought it would but not bad for a 74 year old guy. I watched the videos that etrailer had on their site and some other [videos] and that really helped for a first time doing this type of install. I had the wiring ready to go and the fan worked great, thanks etrailer for the fast service and a great price on the Maxx Fan.

William - 11/20/2020Been in the camper for a year now and no leaks. Product is excellent . When done looked professional done .
Everything I needed was in the kit. Plus plenty of extra screws. The butyl tape is an awesome product. First time using it. The two tubes of sealer applied easily and leveled out nice. Professional looked job. The extra I had left over I resealed my solar panel and every seam on my roof.
Robert - 04/25/2020Site could use one or two filters to help customers decide which unit to purchase. There is a large number to browse through. Purchase was easy. Unit properly described, shipping boxes were well packed. Unit installed easily, due to etrailer's how to install video. Happy with purchase and easy of installation. Will buy from etrailer again. Thank you.
FooferJammer - 10/15/2020dicor And butyl tape are the only thing I use on my RV I try to stay clear of silicone if it's going to be in the sun. Products were as advertised Easy to use effective and inexpensive doesn't get any better than that[thumbs up] Never go back to the RV store locally the markup is horrendous.
This made replacing my roof vent very easy. The order arrived quickly and everything promised was in the box. They supplied enough sealant to have leftover. The corners of the vent were not padded enough during shipping and were a little bent. It was not a problem straightening them, but it’s not something I should have to do. The supplied screws are a little small compared to the original vent screws I removed and the interior trim screws were cheap slotted screws. I had to reuse the old screws on the interior and some of the exterior.
The kit to replace the roof vent in my trailer fit perfectly. After hail broke the plastic cover that came with the trailer, we found this metal cover, which is just what we needed. The southwest sun is just too hard on plastic and then the hail has no problem breaking through. Now I won’t have to worry any more. Thanks!
This is a great replacement vent fan for my 2006 [email protected] Reversible air flow and three speeds. Real power too. Installation was a snap thanks to etrailer videos. Thanks once again guys!
Kit was complete and contained what was needed to install a replacement roof vent.
Great kit, a lot more tape than I needed though. I'll list it on Facebook and hopefully someone else will need soom.
Replaced old exhaust fan on our RV. These items insured there were to be no leaks!
Great product. Easy installation and good performance after owning for a year.
More than enough tape and caulking to install two 14" x 14" roof vents. Worked well.
Everything I needed to install my new vent fan. This kit made it so easy. Thank you etrailer
Purchased this item to replace a bathroom roof vent that was leaking. Item worked as advertised and no more leaks.
Fast easy and seem less!
Wow! I must say this is truly a first for me! I've NEVER in my lifetime (that's a lot of years) ever had a company contact me after a full year of ownership. A couple weeks yes, but not 52 of them! And about the product, yep fully satisfied!
product arrived very quickly,only thing that happend was sealant tape was just layed in bottom of box and the roof vent was layed on top of tape so the tape got all over top of the new roof vent.i was able to remove tape adhesive from roof vent cover.
The kit had more than enough sealant to install a simple ceiling vent on our camper. One thing it could come with if it wanted to be an “everything you need” kit would be a caulk gun. We had one so it wasn’t an issue. I also wish there was a slightly smaller kit we could have added on as we didn’t need quite this much material. But we will save it for next time!
It worked well and keeps the water out. Easy to install as well.
