How To Use a Roof Vent Cover With An Auto Open Roof Vent

Question

Question:

I will have to wait until I get back to our camper to see if the auto fan will stop it’s upward travel. My only question is , Is it available in a smoke or dark color? I want it to match the air conditioner color. Thank you.

The tallest roof vent cover we offer in white is going to be the MaxxAir FanMate RV and Trailer Roof Vent Cover part # MA00-955001 which is about 10-1/4" at its highest point. I will say that most of the auto-open roof vents will stop raising when they sense resistance so you may still be able to use the above or the Camco Aero-Flo RV Roof Vent Cover w/ Swing Open Lid part # CAM40421 that you referenced.

However, if your roof vent does not stop opening when sensing resistance then your only options to use a cover like one of the above is to replace it with a manual open option, the MaxxFan Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan part # MA00A04301K or use one with a built-in cover, the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan part # MA00-07000K.

Yes, for the MaxxAir FanMate RV and Trailer Roof Vent Cover part # MA00-955001 in black you would want to use part # MA00-955002 or part # MA00-955003 for smoke.
