This vent uses wind power to do the hard work of clearing out holding tank odors. Even a gentle breeze spins the cone to create suction, pulling the smells up and away. The aerodynamic shape keeps it moving freely whether parked or driving, so odors don’t hang around inside.
The cone head turns a full 360 degrees to face the wind automatically. That way, it stays effective no matter which way the air flows. The fin design inside the vent keeps air moving out while allowing just enough backflow to balance the pressure, so there’s no need for extra return vents or valves.
The vent attaches to any 1-1/2" (outside diameter) roof pipe using the three included self-tapping Phillips screws. It’s a quick DIY job—just a drill bit, silicone caulk, and a putty knife are all that’s needed to seal it up tight. Once mounted, it stays put and starts working as soon as the wind blows.
Made from corrosion-resistant and UV-stable polystyrene, this vent holds up to sun, wind, and rain. It measures 11-11/16" long x 8-7/8" wide x 3-3/8", so it stays low and unobtrusive on the roof while quietly doing its job day after day.

Today, we're going to be taking a look at part number CAM40597. This is the Camco Cyclone RV Plumbing Vent. This plumbing vent is going to attach to any RV with an inch and a half outward diameter pipe. This piece is going to be the piece that attaches to the piping. It's going to come with three screws to help it be held in place, and it's going to come with the trim piece. So nice design. Now, what this does is this is going to use wind-power to pull undesirable odors out and away from the RV.
It doesn't take much, just a simple, gentle breeze is enough to remove the odors and to make sure this is facing the right direction, so this will rotate 360 degrees, that way it's going to easily follow the direction of the wind. It's got a nice, aerodynamic shape. That's going to allow for free movement either while parked or in motion. Again, it will attach to any RV with an inch and a half outward diameter pipe. Very easy installation. Again, it's going to come with the installation hardware.
This piece is going to be your trim piece. You will want to use some caulk. They recommend using 100% silicone caulk to ensure a nice water-tight and odor-tight connection. The instructions are going to be listed on the packaging. Very detailed and thorough.
They're going to walk you through step-by-step. Now, this piece is actually made from durable polystyrene plastic, so it's going to resist corrosion and UV rays. Again, this is designed for inch and a half outside diameter pipes. The way this works is the wind would come in at this direction. It would come over the opening, and then it would pull out the odors from the sewage tank. So you got this connected to your piping, your piping runs to the sewage tank, sometimes if you don't properly allow that odor to escape, that's what you can sometimes start to smell during travel, because that odor has nowhere else to escape.
So this is actually going to pull the odor out, and it's going to help with that odor control. So nice little design. Again, it's going to use wind-power to pull the odors out, so overall, it seems to be a really nice product. That's going to do it for today's look at part number CAM40597.
Ratings & Reviews
Arrived as expected, fits a 1.5" ABS pipe perfectly. Using in on my home septic vent to elevate vent and use wind to provide negative pressure, keeping odor out of the yard.
Wish I had one of these when I had an RV, would have made the experience much better.
Rec'd our RV vent on time and the price was very competitive. The shipment was well packaged to prevent damage. Etrailer is an easy Co to deal with and carries a lot of excellent products.
I had some odor issues that I determined was the result of some downdrafting in my vent pipe. I was looking for a replacement cap that would produce a venturi effect on the pipe in order to pull odors out and away from the coach. I also wanted the replacement to provide that even while the coach was parked. I ran across the Cyclone RV Plumbing Vent here at etrailer.com and installed it. It completely solved the odor problem. The slightest breeze will rotate the vent so it is always pointing into the wind and creating that suction. I'm very pleased.
Product is excellent it keeps odors out without a hassle.
Works great
Does the job.
Great price, easy to install, and still works well.
Purchased a year ago and it works great. Great company to order from.
I have had two out of the three separate and blow off. I wrote to the company and told them but have not heard back, guess they don't care. Would not recommend these.
Fast shipping!
Excellent customer service
The website was great it had all kinds of products and good information
Would be a better product if manufacturer also provided a rubber seal or grommet for water-tight seal.
The product does deliver no smells in the trailer, only issue is that this is my third one. I have arrived at my destination with the head of the Cyclone gone. We have not had our RV a year and made only six trips. I shortened it and screwed it down. I am trying it again because it does work.
I notice a definite reduction in odor.
GREAT DEVICE FOR AIR QUALITY IN THE RV, NOT JUST WHILE TRAVILLING EVEN WHEN STATIONARY, AS LONG AS THERE IS BREEZE HOLDING TANK ODOR DOES LEAVE THE RV, ALSO I'VE USED THEM ON MY PRIVIOUS RVs.
Easy to install and works great!

Well worth it! Even a slight breeze draws air out and away from the black water tank.
