Pleased with customer service and the roof vent purchased. Easy to understand instructions during install process. Only wish ptoduct was also available in white finish. 561355
Received the Ventline Ventadome metal roof vent in good condition. After removing the old plastic roof vent, the new unit slipped right into the existing square hole with no trouble. See the "before" and "after" pictures. The old plastic roof vent only lasted a few years in Wyoming (the 2 X 5 blocks in the "before" picture were duck taped in place to prevent the plastic bag I stuffed in there from blowing away - a temporary fix while waiting for the new vent). I did not use the polyurethane adhesive between the roof and the vent flange. Everything deteriorates sooner or later especially in Wyoming. If I ever had to replace the vent it would be exceedingly difficult to remove it if stuck down with urethane adhesive. Instead I used ordinary putty (available at most hardware stores). In fact the old vent was sealed with putty. Since the putty layer is thicker than the urethane, I used 1" screws around the flange instead of the 3/4" screws supplied. A year from now I'll see how the vent has survived. 149815
Paul - 09/04/2015Great price quick service fits great much better than the plastic one that was there 603293
Bought this to replace one that had a plastic lid chewed off by squirrels. It's an excellent product. Only complaint I have is that the interior trim ring is made for a much thicker roof than on my trailer. I could have cut it down but luckily the ring for the vent I was replacing fit perfectly. etrailer.com sells shorter depth trim rings but it would be better to not have to spend the extra money and allow selection of trim ring size when ordering. This was the only reason I didn’t give an excellent rating. 167829
Hank - 01/23/2016This product was purchased to replace an old vent that broke. The vent showed up on the front steps. I open the box and found the corner to be bent up. I needed to fix the hole in the roof A.S.A.P., so I bent the corner back to avoid going through a return. Over all I'm happy with the vent, but not thrilled about it being bent. 95459
Arrived in good shape and we were pleased with the quality of this unit. The biggest challenge, of course, is removing the old skylight and all the sealant, but once that was accomplished the installation went forward without any trouble. We like the metal cover because the last two plastic covers have disintegrated after a number of years. 647829
John M - 05/30/2020installed on aluminum A.R.E. DCU truck cap. Did not use the screw or caulk tape kit since the screws were far to long and the caulking is for rubber roofs. As it is, the smallest screws I found in size #8 were 1/2" long. THe trim piece might be nice but it also reduces the head room in the space. i elected to not use it for that reason. THe metal vent cover is what i wanted, though I wish they had smoothed the covers edge; it is sharp for the installer. But once installed it wont be an issue. The screen is okay, but doesn't seem to completely cover the openings along the edge. If this was a concern, maybe a bit of 1/4" wide foam, backed with tape would make up the difference. I prefer this type vent assy. with the round knob instead of the crank. A cardboard template would have been helpful, but obviously not necessary. With luck it will last half as long as the truck cap ... we'll see. 550100
Art K - 08/05/2019received today. since there are no broken parts (plastic) I will just bend everything back in place. there was no packing in the box and the product comes in contact with the side of the box the conveyor bent the edges that screw to the roof. both covers were damaged in the same way. there is 4" for the product to move in the cardboard box no wonder that the plastic survived the trip. some on up there is looking out for etrailer and me. no screws to fasten it to the roof and no mastic to seal but what do you expect. I will buy another when this one rusts out. got to be better than the plastic covers which last about 3 years. 581253
The metal cap was the right size to replace the old plastic cap however the frame was not. A little Mcgiver ingenuity I was able to get top in using old parts. This trailer was in the boonies and this year I will have to take apart and cut new frame to use the new frame that came with metal top. 572415
I installed this vent on the roof of my 1986 Samurai. I usually have a couple of bird dogs in the back and the additional ventilation for them gives me peace of mind in hot weather. Keith 385787
I bought this vent because it was low profile ,metal, manual operation and made in the USA. It was easier to install than I thought it would be ; because of the contours in the cap. No problem. The flange was wide enough and the gauge thick enough to make the contour perfectly. I used 100% clear silicone to make the seal.I'll paint it as soon as temperatures get back to normal. I highly recommend this unit. 275475
Rich D - 01/06/2018Just what I was needing, a metal roof vent. With the Texas sun and heat, plastic doesn't last long. The garnish leg may be a little wide, but its a horse trailer, and no one will see it except my wife and I. I may try to cut it down a quarter to a half inch, but hopefully I can install it this weekend if the weather is nice. Prompt service and fast shipping!!! 940368
Very good vent 940033
My daughter needed it for her horse trailer. I am very pleased with the construction, and materials. We both were surprised at the quickness of delivery. Haven't installed it yet. My daughter wants to paint the trailer first. Thank you Jody 938971
this will be a lot better than the one that came with the trailer it was plastic this is nice and will last longer 937882
Easy install and doesn’t bust when it hails... perfect is close enough 937409
Well built trailer vent. Metal lid prevents short term replacement. I don’t need to worry about the lid sun rotting about the time I’m traveling in the snow or rain. 933397

Easy install, good quality 920673
Just what I needed. The old plastic lids were cracked and let water inside the trailer. The metal lids did the trick. Great products. Thank you. 916401
worked well. 915903
Excellent Customer Service and Quick Delivery of vent. Thank You 915517
Awesome upgrade. This vent is a one time replacement that will last the life of the cargo trailer. I park outdoors with full sunlight exposure. In addition to no UV deterioration, no concern of hail damage. Only downside, no light coming through; in my view, a great trade off. 910437
Well made product, much better than the plastic ones that came with the RV. I bought 2 vents and primed and painted them before installation just to protect the metal. I expect many years of service from these vents. 907994
