It is common to have items on your RV roof become sun damaged and then eventually break or go missing. A common one would be the plumbing vent. There are many times that you can get away with replacing just the cap and not the entire vent—where you have to remove the roof sealant and putty tape.

Cool. Thank you, Dustin! I am pretty good at using a screwdriver to tighten a screw. Perhaps even I could install this. 🙂
These are not universal fit. The screw alignment pulls the cap down leaving very little to no space to vent. I know and I am an above average DIY’er.
