Determining The Correct Replacement Vent Cover For Trailer Roof Vent

Question:

hello i have a 2007 haulmark enclosed trailer with a elixir vent. it looks like your vent # bv0554-01 but i was wondering if part # bv0554-03 will fit also? i was thinking that the smoke vent would let more light in if it fits. thank you

You will first want to measure your vent, not the actual cover on your trailer. The vents are 14-1/2 by 14-1/2 inches, 14 by 14 inches, or 13 by 14 inches, in size.

Then you will want to make sure the correct size cover uses the same type of hinge as shown on the product page. Usually it will be a rolled metal edge, and you will be able to use the picture on our site to compare to your cover..

The item you selected, Ventline Smoke Dome, part # BV0554-03, is a replacement cover for a 14-1/4 by 14-1/4 inch vent. The vent you mentioned, Vent Cover, part # BV0554-01, is also for a 14-1/4 by 14-1/4 inch vent.

A smoked vent cover should allow more light to filter in versus a white vent cover because you can see through the smoked vent cover. A white vent cover you cannot see through, therefore blocking out more light.
