Dometic Ultra Breeze 14x14 RV Roof Vent Cover, White
Dometic Ultra Breeze 14x14 RV Roof Vent Cover, White — Product description
The Dometic Ultra Breeze is the cover that lets you leave your 14 by 14 roof vent open when the weather turns. It's a vented dome that sits over the vent, so air keeps moving through the rig while rain, leaves, and road spray stay outside. White thermoplastic, exterior mount, built to take the sun.
Here's the problem the Dometic Ultra Breeze solves. You want fresh air moving through your rig, but the second it starts raining you've got to climb up and crank the roof vent shut or you're mopping the floor. This cover fixes that. It's a domed shroud that mounts over your existing 14 by 14 inch roof vent and lets you keep that vent wide open through a downpour without a drop getting inside.
The trick is in how it breathes. This is the vented version, open on one side, so air flows freely in and out while the dome shape sheds rain up and over the opening. Hot, stale air rises out. Cooler outside air draws in. And because the venting faces one direction, wind-driven rain and road spray hit the solid sides of the dome instead of the vent underneath it. You get airflow parked at a campsite, and you get airflow rolling down the highway in a summer storm.
It fits the 14 by 14 inch roof vent opening that's standard on the vast majority of RVs, travel trailers, and campers. The cover itself measures 23 inches long by 19-1/2 inches wide by 10-1/4 inches tall, so it clears the vent lid and gives the air real room to move underneath. If you've got a standard square roof vent up top, odds are very good this is the size you need. Measure your vent opening before you order to be sure, since a handful of older or specialty rigs run a different size.
Install is a rooftop job, so pick a dry day and a sturdy ladder. The cover sits over the vent and fastens to the roof around the opening. Give the roof a good cleaning first so your sealant grabs properly, then run a bead of quality roof sealant around the mounting points to keep water out of the fastener holes. Take your time with the bedding. A cover that keeps rain out of the vent doesn't do you much good if the mounting screws leak instead. Most folks knock this out in well under an hour with basic hand tools.
Where this really earns its keep is moisture control. Anyone who's woken up to condensation dripping off the ceiling knows how fast a closed-up rig turns damp. Cooking, showering, even just breathing overnight puts a surprising amount of water into the air. With the Ultra Breeze on top, you can leave that vent cracked or open around the clock to let the humidity escape, rain or shine. Open it over the galley to pull cooking heat and smells out while you cook, or in the bath to clear steam after a shower. It cuts down on that clammy, stuffy feeling and helps keep mildew from setting up shop in the corners.
It's a smart pick for full-timers, weekend campers, and anyone who parks the rig for months at a stretch and wants a little passive airflow while it sits in storage. A rig that can breathe while it's parked stays a lot fresher than one sealed up tight for the season. Boondockers like it because you're not burning battery running a fan to move air. The vent does the work on its own, day and night, whether you're there or not.
The Ultra Breeze is molded from white thermoplastic that's made to live outside and take the sun without going brittle or yellowing on you. White also reflects heat instead of soaking it up, which is exactly what you want sitting on a roof all summer long. One note on part numbers. Dometic updated this cover to number 9600001942, so if you run across that number referenced anywhere, it's the same cover you're looking at here. You're getting the current version.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Dometic Ultra Breeze cover do?
It lets you keep your RV roof vent open in the rain. It's a vented dome that mounts over the vent, so air keeps flowing in and out while the shape sheds rain, road spray, and debris away from the opening. Fresh air in, water out.
What size roof vent does it fit?
It fits the standard 14 by 14 inch roof vent opening found on most RVs, travel trailers, and campers. Measure your vent opening before ordering, since a few older or specialty rigs use a different size.
Can I leave the vent open while driving?
Yes, that's a big reason people buy it. The dome keeps wind-driven rain and highway spray out, so you can roll down the road in a storm with the vent open and keep air moving through the cabin.
Will rain get inside with the vent open?
No. The dome sheds water up and over the vent, and the venting is on one side rather than all the way around, so rain hits the solid walls of the cover instead of dropping into the vent below.
How does it help with condensation?
By letting you keep the vent open full time, it gives interior humidity a way out. Cooking, showering, and even sleeping put moisture in the air, and leaving that vent cracked around the clock cuts down on the condensation and mildew that build up in a closed-up rig.
What is it made of?
White thermoplastic. It's molded to live outside, so it stands up to sun and weather without getting brittle, and the white color reflects heat rather than soaking it up on the roof.
How do I install it?
It's a rooftop install. Clean the roof around the vent, set the cover over the opening, fasten it down, and seal the mounting points with a quality roof sealant so water stays out of the screw holes. Most people finish in under an hour with basic tools.
What are the exact dimensions?
The cover measures 23 inches long by 19-1/2 inches wide by 10-1/4 inches tall. That gives the air room to move under the dome while it clears the vent lid.
Is the cover vented all the way around or just one side?
One side. The venting faces a single direction so air flows through while the solid sides block wind-driven rain and spray from the other directions.
What's the 9600001942 number I keep seeing?
That's Dometic's updated part number for this same cover. If you see 9600001942 referenced, it's the current version of the U1400WHS you're looking at here.
