All roof vent lids are not universal, but they are similar. We do offer Camco, Valterra, VentLine, and MaxxAir roof vents; but the main thing to pay attention to is the type of hinge for your roof vent has. There are 3 point hinges, 4 point hinges, continuous hinges, and universal hinges.

The Replacement Dome for Fan-Tastic Vent RV Roof Vent # FVK1020-19 referenced, is a continuous metal hinge type.
