{"product_id":"camco-40177-roof-vent-lid-black-14x14-rv-ventline","title":"Camco 40177 RV Roof Vent Lid, Black, 14 x 14 Pre-2008 Ventline","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eCracked or chalky roof vent lid? This Camco 40177 is the black 14 by 14 replacement lid for pre-2008 Ventline and 1994-plus Elixir RV vents. It comes with the mounting hardware you need for a quick swap, so you can get your camper weathertight again in about twenty minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your RV's roof vent lid is cracked, chalky, or missing after a few seasons in the sun, this Camco replacement gets you weathertight again without replacing the whole vent. It's the black 14 inch by 14 inch lid built to fit Ventline vents made before 2008 and Elixir vents made since 1994. So before you order, take a quick look at your existing frame and confirm it's one of those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoof vent lids take a beating. They sit flat to the sky, soaking up UV all day, and the original plastic gets brittle over time. First you see it fade, then a crack shows up along a stress line, and the next hard rain finds its way inside. We've swapped a lot of these over the years, and the job is honestly one of the easier RV fixes you can do yourself. Pop the old lid, transfer or replace the hardware, set the new one, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lid is molded from polypropylene, so it flexes instead of shattering in the cold, and it comes in black to match darker roof setups. The kit includes the vent lid plus the installation hardware you need to hang it. That covers the pins and screws for a standard swap. It does not include a bug screen, so if yours is torn or gone, grab a separate 14 by 14 screen to keep insects out when you crack the vent for airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitment is the part to get right. This is the pre-2008 Ventline profile, which is different from the revised frame Ventline switched to afterward. If your vent was made in 2008 or later, the lip profile changed and this lid won't seat correctly. The same lid also covers Elixir vents built from 1994 on. When in doubt, measure the opening, it should be a nominal 14 by 14, and check the hinge style against the old lid before you install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is straightforward with basic hand tools. Open the vent fully, back out the screws holding the old lid to the hinge arms, and lift it off. Set the new lid onto the arms, line up the holes, and drive the hardware. A lot of folks add a bead of butyl or a few stainless screws while they're up there, especially on an older frame where the plastic bosses have seen better days. Snug the screws by hand so you don't strip the plastic, then open and close the vent a couple times to make sure it swings clean and latches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile you've got the ladder out, it's worth giving the whole vent a once-over. Check the sealant around the flange for cracks or lifting, and reseal any tired spots with a lap sealant made for RV roofs. A new lid on a leaky flange still lets water in, so the two jobs go hand in hand. If the pivot points feel stiff, a touch of silicone on the hinge, not the seal, keeps the lid swinging freely through hot summers and cold nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more note on the color. Black hides roof grime better than a clear or smoke lid, and it holds up fine, though like any exterior plastic it will lighten a little over several seasons of direct sun. That's normal and it doesn't affect how the lid seals or latches. If your roof calls for black, this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anyone with an older travel trailer, fifth wheel, motorhome, or truck camper running a 14 by 14 Ventline or Elixir roof vent that's showing its age. It's a cheap, fast repair that saves you from a full vent assembly replacement. And it keeps rain, road grime, and sun out of your living space. Just remember the two things that matter most: confirm the pre-2008 Ventline or 1994-plus Elixir fitment, and add a screen separately if you need one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits 14 inch by 14 inch RV roof vents, the most common size on trailers and motorhomes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Ventline vents made before 2008 and Elixir vents made since 1994\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded polypropylene lid flexes in cold weather instead of cracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish to match darker roofs and vent domes, hides road grime\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes the vent lid plus installation hardware for a standard swap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect lid replacement, no need to swap the full vent assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBug screen sold separately so you can match your own 14 by 14 screen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBilingual English and French packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size roof vents does the Camco 40177 fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's built for 14 inch by 14 inch RV roof vents, the most common size on travel trailers and motorhomes.
