Question:
I need to replace my 2017 Forest River Wolf Pup 16 BHS roof vent cover. I contacted Forest River and they gave me their part number 20X14058A for the entire assembly. The roof vent housing is 14 x 14. I just want to replace the vent cover. I do not want a cover from Forest River since it deteriorated in just 3 years. I want a cover made from a different polymer that will last much longer

The critical elements in finding a replacement vent lid are matching the overall size, the position of the lift arm bracket and the style of the hinge.
I was unable to find a part number 20X14058A , but we do have some options that will work for you.
For a 14 x 14 replacement vent lid with a continuous hinge like what's shown in the photos you kindly provided I'd recommend the Camco Replacement Lid, part # CAM40161. This lid features a continuous hinge like the lid you're replacing, matches up size wise and has a center mounted lift arm bracket. The lid is constructed of nearly unbreakable polycarbonate that will last quite a while.
I've linked to an article that explains how to choose and install the correct replacement roof vent lid.
As you can see by taking a look at the customer review ratings, this replacement lid has been well received by our customers. There are other options such as the Camco # CAM40155 which is constructed of polypropylene, which is quite a bit less durable than the lid I recommended.
