This vent makes a big difference when it comes to airflow. The built-in 12-volt DC fan moves 100 CFM to pull out hot or stale air and keep things feeling comfortable inside. It gives you much better circulation than a non-powered vent, even while the trailer or RV stays locked and secure.
Forget reaching up to lift or lower the lid by hand. The built-in power lift motor opens and closes the vent cover for you and powers in and out so you can set it where you want. Operation is handled from the included wall-mounted switch, making it easy to control everything from one spot.
The smoke-colored, wedge-shaped dome is made of durable polypropylene that stands up to sun and weather. It’s translucent, so it still lets in some natural light without leaving the interior exposed. The aerodynamic shape also helps reduce drag and noise when you’re on the move.
If you’re replacing an older vent, this one fits right into a standard 14-1/4" × 14-1/4" roof opening. The galvanized steel roof flange resists rust and corrosion, and the polar white interior garnish (2-1/8" leg depth) gives it a clean, finished look inside. Wiring is straightforward 12-volt DC, and the snap-out screen makes cleaning quick and easy.

Ratings & Reviews
Installation was great. Fan works great and the fit and initial operation was all good. Durability and longevity is poor.
I have had installed now for just under 5 years and the sun has already rot-ruined the cover with cracked and a hole in it. I will have to get another one. The other roof vent cover I have on my trailer is 23 years old and holding up strong, but the new one didn't make it to 5 years. Poor durability on the quality of the plastic cover.
I just installed this vent less than a week ago.
I’m just hoping the metal vent versus the plastic one I originally had on the trailer will hold up to the weather longer.Only time will tell though.
The edges of the metal around the roof flange are razor sharp. I cut my hands three or four place's. If there’s any way the factory can round these edges off better so they’re not quite as sharp.
installed 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.
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.
Installed a year ago, still works. Instructions were next to worthless as far as the wiring. But figured it out after a few youtube videos
Ashley S was amazing and called me to inform me they could combine two orders to ensure I had free shipping.
best yet...most substantial one's that I've seen on the market...
but the vinyl sealer ring around the rim closure needs to be better secured..like silicone glued on (which I did)...it has a tendency to slip off.
minor issue..easy mod.
Bought 4 of these to redo/replace old plastic dome ones.
all good.
You can depend on eTrailer.
I’m very pleased with the quality of the vent and how easy it is to open and close. This was a replacement for the previous vent that became inoperable and leaked.
This is the perfect replacement for my cargo trailer. I prefer the aluminum over the plastic. Online order was simple and fast shipping.
Ventline Ventadome Roof Vent 14 1/4X14 1/4. Shipping was prompt, product arrived intact. Had to get the #10 stainless screws to install (expected them to be included) plus the butyl tape and lap sealant which I knew from the description I'd need to buy seperately. The install went without any issues. I was expecting it to fit with no trimming but ended up needing to trim each corner on my 14 1/2 inch opening. My roof thickness was right at 1 inch so needed to trim down the trim strip. How will it do in a driving rain? To be continued.....
Seems like a better built and better quality RV repeated product, mostly metal rather than brittle plastic to replace a similar vent that was nearly 40 years old. Install was strait forward and uneventful. Unfortunately the crank mechanism lasted about 6 months, can’t open or close the darn thing, bummer because instal is semi permanent with sealant and screws etc.
Simple R&R. I used mineral spirits to clean top surface. Didn’t use the inner lining that came with the kit. (Due to angled ceiling). So I sprayed the original white and reused it. Perfect
The package arrival date changed multiple times which made it difficult to schedule someone to install this . ( Dodging cold weather in WI) The video was VERY helpful and I was able to complete the task with only a friend's consult re: sealant product. Despite being bent, everything fit well and dropped in easily with minor adjustment. Screws not included so be sure to buy self tapping or save old ones. I'm leaving a cover on the bed for a few days just in case!
Excellent service, item arrived couple days early and fit perfectly. Installation was simple and straight forward thanks to online instructions.
Just what I needed, thanks
Works well,
I am very pleased with the quality of the vents. The prices were good too. Very happy with my purchase and how quick the vents came. Thank you
Fan arrived in good shape on schedule. There were no wiring instructions or mounting hardware
This vent works great and was a direct replacement. Also fabulous service from etrailer.com as usual!!!
Installed fairly easy except no wiring diagram included. Removed a manual Ventline model. My wife is only 5' 2" tall and could not reach the fan switch or turn knob to open it up. This will be a breeze for her now. I guess being a master ASE truck tech and working on RVs for 15 years helped figure out the wiring. Now that it's installed would almost give it 5 stars.
