Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - Manual Lift - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" - Smoke

Vent was easy to install, really didn't need the instructions. I would have appreciated a template for the hole though. That way I can just throw the template up and cut along it. A recommendation to reinforce the underside with something (I used 2x2s) might be helpful as well. You do say to align it with a joist, but who's really going to have multiple joists within 14 1/2" from each other? Otherwise, it looks great. I figured you have multiple images of the vent itself so I figured an image of how I reinforced it would be the most helpful for future installers.
Thank you.

This product got great reviews, and I'm not sure why. I was very disappointed in this vent. First, etrailer shipped it with the sealant on top of the unit and damaged it (still haven't heard back from them).

Aside from that, the unit is supposed to be smoke. I thought some light inside my pop-up would be nice, and maybe the white unit I had before wouldn't look so dirty all the time if it was smoke. Outside it looks gray. Inside it looks blue. When the sun shines on it, it makes the inside of the trailer look rather depressing and blue. The lid itself is very flimsy, and flexes in the wind. While traveling, the flex allowed the vent to come out of the channel even while fully closed. It was a fun in-camp fix and I was thankful it didn't rain. The seal that goes around the rim does not stay on, and I am constantly pushing it back down (removing the screen to do so, reaching my arm through the hole and pushing it back on). IF I keep this thing, I will replace that lumpy weatherstripping with my own.

Note: The new garnish (trim) did not work with my popup. I used my old garnish and cleaned it up with plastic polish and it worked well. It wouldn't have worked as well if I broke the old trim, so keep all your parts if you decide to get this thing.

I didn't see any alternatives for the price on etrailer, but may shop around if the lid comes apart again on my next trip out.411011

I absolutely love my new vents! We did find that the trim piece was too deep for our folding camper, but that problem was easily solved by trimming off what we did not need. We will also have to remove the handles when we fold the camper up, but that is no big deal for me. My husband had no problem installing the electrical for the upgraded vent we purchased. I do however wish that there were screw buttons to cover the screws, my husband is known as the "Silicon King" and made his own buttons with dabs of silicon...trust me not the prettiest look! 186525

Product material and build is solid. Easy to install. I like the smoke colored cover, lets in the right amount of sun (we dry camp in the Southwest a lot). The fit between screen and frame with the open/close knob was off by about 1/4 inch in depth. Was able to adjust the knob mounting position down so as to insure a tight fit between screen and beauty ring. We have an eighteen-year-old rig, so it is challenging to find replacement parts that fit as original. But it fits great now! great web site - easy to drill down to appropriate parts. Thanks again.480020

I installed this on my enclosed trailer, with a air vent cover, keeps it a lot cooler in the summer.300137

I am in the process of replacing all of the roof vents in my toy hauler and found etrailer was able to supply just what I needed and at a competitive price. I have had good dealings with them whenever I needed rv parts.644177

The vent went in very easily. took about 70 min. to remove old damaged one and replace with this vent. however I reused my old interior trim. this product came with 1 7/8 INCH trim. Needed 5+ inch deep Trim. thus the three star rating1679065

The product seems extremely flimsy and poor quality. One corner of the metal frame was badly bent and wrinkled . It was not shipping damage as there was no damage to the carton . The damage have been obvious to the person who packed it.

The hatch material is very thin and weak and I expect will be broke. With the first hail stone.1680982

Appreciated that a metal vent hood is offered, this is what I chose to replace the plastic hooded vent model on my cargo trailer. The plastic used for these vent hoods offers very little UV protection so I have had to replace several of them over the years. The mounting holes on both the metal flange and plastic internal trim fit the existing screw holes. I would prefer that the plastic garnish and screen support was thicker, it is too flimsy/fragile.1604669

The axles that I ordered last year are still working out great. But even better than the parts was the service I got from etrailer. It was so great working with a company who took the time to listen to my project and help me get the right parts I needed, especially coming right off the heels of a terrible experience dealing with bad information and wrong parts from a competitor. Even with some damages in shipping, the returns/ and replacements were no hassle, with most issues being quickly resolved and not even costing me any additional downtime. As a contractor keeping a small fleet rolling, your competency and professionalism have made me a customer for life!! You guys at etrailer will be my first stop for trailer parts.1591761
