Currently have a nice heavy storm downpouring on my campervan. Just went inside it to check for water and saw a small leak in the bunk located directly under the roof vent. Upon further inspection I found it was coming in through the corner of the vent, which is very old so I didn't trust it anyway. A quick UA-cam search and bingo, an easy, straight forward tutorial on how to replace the old vent. I just recently purchased the van, so this knowledge is key to have in my back pocket for the future. I appreciate the video. All the necessary supplies are ordered and I should have a fresh vent installed within the next week. Thanks!
This may be the best roof vent how-to video I’ve ever seen! Straight to the point. Subscribed. Thank you! I’d love to see a video on how to connect the wires exactly. Maybe it’s easy and the fan has instructions but for a complete newbie it helps to SEE how it’s done. Great video. Thank you.
Dicor is trash that stuff cracks and dries out in less than a year requiring you to continually reapply to avoid leaks. I only use it as a supplement prior to a final coat with 4 inch wide edpm tape for a more permanent maintenance-free installation. To start, use about twice as much dicor as this guy did, wait 24 hours for the dicor to fully level and complete off-gassing. Then apply edpm tape with the generous overlap. Press down firmly across the entire surface of the tape to ensure maximum adhesion.
Awesome video! Quick and informative and right to the point, unlike a lot of tutorials. I'm replacing four of these and don't even have electrical connections to deal with on mine. Looks easy.
Thank you for the video - I have two questions which I will post separately - I noticed that you used self leveling lap sealant, but did not use Eternabond tape. Would you mind commenting on this? Thanks.
I'm intending to on replacing our old air conditioner on a 26 ft 1991 Terry Fleetwood with a white skylight / roof vent without a fan and I'm running into two issues. Some of the vent kits say "Compatible with a 1-1/4"" to 2-1/4"" thick roof" which seems very thin to me. the tapered beams near the air conditioner are 3 inches high and add some for the particle board roof and a little for the interior ceiling and we have to be getting close to 4 inches through the roof. I did see one comment on the roof kit that the sleeve was not long enough and they had to use their old longer interior sleeve, but we won't have one. Does our camper have an unusually thick roof - seems unlikely - any suggestions to get the right depth roof vent base? I've been told a couple of times, including an RV repair place yesterday, that the roof vent kits use cheap skylilghts and the first hail storm will break them and we might as well buy a good quality replacement skylight up front. Some of the replacement skylight vent covers do say unbreakable or lifetime warranty - I've not seen any such wording on the vent kits. Are there no vent kits with good quality skylights. From experience, some skylights get quite brittle in the sun and some seem to last pretty well. Suggestions for skylight kit - simple - no fan. Thanks - love your videos - will review the list on your channel. Dave
His video was the best I'd seen, thou I'm no normal video browser. But, I came to find out how to install a vent. He never went into the electrical aspect. What if we don't have the instructions/manual? That's part of the vent. Yes?

Excellent video! I wish all instructional videos were this clear and concise. Thank you.

Good video. I am hoping to replace the vent in my RV bathroom at the same time I reseal the roof this summer.

Da B-M I agree, I’d like to see that in a video, too!
I’m thinking that you just connect the existing fan wiring to the new fan, be sure power is disconnected.
Just a great job
Great up load!
Awesome, really good video, thanks!
thanks for the tips
Thanks I need to do this and you made it look doable
Great video!
