The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # MA00-06200K has a 12v fan in it so it's not recommended for use above a shower because there's a risk of water damaging the vent. If the vent hole is in the bathroom but not over the shower you'll be able to use this vent.

If the vent hole is above the shower you just need a non-powered vent like the MaxxAir Mini Manual RV Roof Vent - White # MA00-03700 or # MA00-03750 for Black. These vents have a rain shield cover which allows them to be used in any weather and also while driving.

Thanks for the pictures of your roof vent lid Marty! Based on that the correct replacement is the Ventline part #BVD0449-A01 that you referenced if you wanted white or the part #BVD0449-A03 for the same smoke color you have now.
