Replacement Vent Cover for Wells Cargo RF85X244 Trailer

Question:

The recent Hurricane ripped off out utility trailer vent cover. I have asked Wells Cargo for the part number but its been weeks with no response. I would like to replace it ASAP so as not to cause ater damage from subsequent rainfalls. Also something pierced the roof. I need a 21x12 sheet of aluminum to fix the hole. Any idea where and what mill/specs aluminum I should use?

We don't really have any way of knowing exactly what vent and cover you've got on your Wells Cargo trailer, but we can help you find the appropriate replacement.

Most likely we have what you are looking for but you will need to first determine what vent you have on your trailer.

In order to determine the correct roof vent, measure where the vent opens. The standard trailer roof vent opening is roughly 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" and have roof vents that measure 14" x 14".

To pick the correct cover, you will also need to know the type of hinge you need.

There is a 3 point hinge, such as the one on the Camco # CAM40153; a 4 point hinge as seen on the Camco # CAM40154; or a rolled metal continuous hinge like on the Ventline # BVD0449-A03; and universal hinge as shown on the MaxxAir # MA00-335001.

Basically the easiest way to select the correct replacement cover is to remove the existing cover and match the hinge and lift bracket to the photos on our site along with the dimensions. A link to all of the replacement vent covers is provided to match up with your cover.

If it is not clear which hinge style that you have, the MaxxAir above is a Universal Replacement Lid.

In the event that you don't find a lid you like, I also included a link to our main page for our complete 14 x 14-inch vent assemblies. These are offered in manual or powered lift and with or without fans. If you install a complete new vent you'll need an installation kit, either # 344270KITW for a metal or coated metal roof or kit # CAM25013 for a rubberized roof..

As for the type of aluminum and specs, that's not something we would have information on so you may want to reach out to the manufacturer to see if they can make a recommendation on what to use.
