Top Vent cover metal track broke off

April 19, 2016, 08:16:57 am

In the coach bathroom the top vent cover has a metal guide track mounted on one side of the plastic cover. The lever (with roller) lifts or lowers the cover when I turn the knob.
I went to an RV dealer to see about a replacement but the covers they had in our size had the track down the middle of the cover.
On our cover the plastic that spaced the track was broken into several small pieces.
The coach & cover are now 27 years old. Any ideas as to where I might possibly get another cover?
Luckily we have a Maxair cover over the vent.

N Hawk, with all due respect I suggest that maybe you remove the whole thing and put a new one (vent) in place as maybe the complete unit is feeling it's age by now! This way when the next thing breaks you can get parts, but it should last a bunch of years before needing them.

Thanks John, just what I was thinking. But, after it stops raining here (next three days) I planned on taking it off and going to King's Campers here in Wausau. They are super in helping me find the stuff I need.
