• Comparing Alpha Systems Superflex and LaSalle Bristol RV Roof Membranes
• The Alpha Systems Superflex RV Roof Membranes like part # AL42CV uses a TPO membrane and the LaSalle Bristol RV Roof Membranes like part # 3441700534142711435 uses a PVC membrane. The TPO membrane is more resistant to punctures and wear but the PVC membrane is more energy efficient. These are the main differences but they both work well on RV's. I recommend the TPO due to the increased strength which would therefore mean less maintenance. I have attached a full list of options below.

• The MaxxAir MaxxFan "Mini" Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, # MA00-04401M and the MaxxFan Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan, # MA00A04401K are very similar but there is a difference in the profile.

• What Is the Difference Between the Left and Right Side Lippert Power Gear Motors?
• The only difference between the left # LC386198 and right # LC89CJ motors for the Lippert Power Gear is going to be the brake orientation; Other than that they are going to be the same motor. As far as your situation goes, If you have the extra money for a new system, the Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System w Touchpad and Remote # LC675817 for a 6 point or # LC358590 for a 4 point would be my vote, but it is quite a big commitment. This system is going to...

• Comparison Between the Aluminum 2-Way Roof Vent # RV-626-062 and the Black 2-Way Vent # 9106
• For all intents and purposes there really is no functional difference between the Replacement Exterior Pop-Up Roof Vent # 9106 and the Ventilator, Pop Up 2-Way Aluminum with Screen # RV-626-062. Either would work just as well as the other with the only real difference being that one is painted black and the other is aluminum. Both could be used as a top vent.

• The Adco Tyvek Roof Cover was discontinued That said, the Adco # 290-52241 SFS AquaShed Cover does offer good protection and works best for short-term storage in moderate climates.

• How Does The RV Awning UV Protectant and Conditioner # BE85FR Compare To Armor All?
• As the RV Awning UV Protectant and Conditioner # BE85FR is specifically designed for superior protection on RV products I feel it works better on RV surfaces than Armor All products. The Vinyl used on awnings, gel coat fiberglass and rubber roof material are much different than the materials used on vehicles which is what the Armor All products were designed for.

• Is Trempro640 Silicone Sealant # 0160297 Similar to Dicor Lap Sealant
• TremPro 644 Silicone Sealant # 0160297 is similar to Dicor lap sealant. I can't say exactly what the formula is for Dicor but I can tell you that TremPro 644 is a silicone sealant used in numerous applications including the installation of RV and trailer roof vents. Both products adhere to rubber-like roofing materials, aluminum, galvanized metal, plastic, vinyl, fiberglass, wood, and even mortar and concrete and are compatible with EPDM and TPO roof coverings so the two products are comparable...

• Difference Between MaxxAir MaxxFan Mini Roof Vent and MaxxFan Roof Vent
• The difference between the MaxxAir MaxxFan Mini Roof Vent # MA00-04401M and the MaxxFan Roof Vent # MA00A04401K does indeed simply have to do with its profile. The MaxxAir Mini Roof Vent will only extend 2-7/8 inches above the roof when it's closed compared to 4-1/4 inches on the standard model. The MaxxFan Mini will also work with a thinner RV/Camper roof as it is compatible with roof thicknesses of 1 inch to 6-1/2 inches (compared to 2 inches to 6-1/2 inches on the standard unit). As...

• Will The Thule Roof Rack On My 2013 Honda Ridgeline Fit My 2022 Honda Ridgeline
• It will depend on the model Honda Ridgeline you had/have. The roof rack from your 2013 Honda Ridgeline will work on your 2022 Honda Ridgeline if they both have raised rails. If not, I do have a Thule roof rack to fit your 2022 Honda Ridgeline with a naked roof. Unfortunately, it will not be the same roof rack you had on your 2013 Honda Ridgeline. Your Thule rack for the 2022 Honda Ridgeline will consist of the following items: Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars - Steel - 60" Long - Qty 2,...

• Comparison of Camco # CAM40453 and MaxxAir # MA00-933069 RV Roof Vent Covers
• Both roof vent covers, Camco part # CAM40453 and MaxxAir part # MA00-933069, have the same purpose and fit on any standard 14 by 14 inch roof vent.

The Camco is slightly smaller at 18-1/2 by 18 inches compared to the MaxxAir at 19 by 18-1/2 inches. The Camco is also about a 1/2 inch shorter in height measuring 8-1/2 inches versus the MaxxAir at 9 inches. With that being said I prefer...

• Comparing MaxxAir II and Fan-Tastic Vent Ultra Breeze Vent Covers
• The MaxxAir II RV and Enclosed Trailer Roof Vent Cover # MA86JR and the Fan-Tastic Vent Ultra Breeze Trailer Roof Vent Cover # DMC38FR have very similar dimensions so I doubt anyone would be able to notice any difference in actual ventilation performance from the 1-inch height difference between them. Since the USA-made MaxxAir # MA86JR is both lower in price and has twice as long a warranty (6 years vs. 3 years) I would go with the MaxxAir.

• What is the Difference between the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack and the Thule Roof Rack for My 2022 Equinox?
• You are absolutely correct in saying that Thule and Rhino-Rack offer different roof rack systems for your naked roof on your 2022 Chevy Equinox.

• The MaxxAir Mini Deluxe Trailer Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - Black # MA00-03851 and the MaxxAir Mini Deluxe - White # MA00-03801 that you referenced are indeed identical units except for their lid color. Both are 12V DC powered exhaust fans with 1 speed option and feature an integrated rain shield to prevent water from entering the RV or trailer. Any difference in price between the two options is simply related to manufacturer pricing and supply and demand. I have attached a video demonstration...
