How to Choose Proper Replacement Roof Vent Lid for 2017 Forest River Cherokee 304BH

Question

Question:

I have a 2017 Forest River Cherokee 304BH and the roof vent lid broke off. I am hoping I can just get a lid. Is this possible or do I have to replace the entire vent?

This happens all the time, no worries!

You can indeed get a replacement lid, it's just a matter of matching up what's remaining on your roof to the correct replacement lid, which isn't difficult at all. A standard vent has a 14x14 inch opening, and can have a 3-point, 4-point or a continuous hinge.

To find the correct replacement, use the provided link. On the left side of the page, click the filter for the hinge style you have, then choose the color you want.

I've also linked you to an article showing how to replace the vent.
