Ventline Exterior Wall Vent for RV Range Hood - Locking Damper - 1-3/4" Collar - White
I'm really disappointed with the flimsy material and poor finish quality. At first I thought mine might have been defective, but if you zoom in on the product photos that are provided, you'll see that there's lots of flash and rough edges. Mine is a bit worse than the one in the list, but still I'm not going to permanently affix this to my $100,000 motorhome
My new trailer came with a stove vent that exhausted to the inside of the trailer making it unbearable to cook inside in the hot sun of Florida. I modified the fume hood so it could vent through the wall the way it should have been in the 1st place. This plastic vent cover worked as good as any could be expected to do so and provided a neat appearance to finish off the modification. Reasonably priced to boot.

Ventline Exterior Wall Vent for RV Range Hood - Locking Damper - 1-3/4" Collar - Black
Received promptly. It appears to be stronger than the original vent with the added feature of a rain guard. Hopefully it will prevent loss if we forget to close the vent while driving.
Installed easy despite my aprehension about making a hole in my rv, vent damper cover will flap in the wind if not latched

Ventline Exterior Wall Vent for RV Range Hood - Locking Damper - 5/8" Collar - White
This purchase was a replacement for the exact vent that I purchased in 2020. Originally I gave this product a high rating. One year later as requested I updated my review noting the plastic had turned yellow, the locking tabs for the vent door required a ladder to operate and the vent flap was annoying as, unless it was locked, would clatter in the slightest breeze. This month 2023 I was washing the rv in preparation for a trip and I hit the center of the vent hood with a wash brush. The center "reinforcing" post broke off and the vent hood cracked. The plastic was not only yellow but now was also quite brittle. This is the third vent for the rv. The original 2006 Ventline lasted until 2020. The second 3 years. I purchased another as I was about to go on a trip and knew the replacement would be a no hassle install. etrailer expedited the shipment and generously waived shipping fees in consideration of the previous replacements short life span. I greatly appreciate their high quality customer service. The vent that I just received is, as other reviewers have noted, constructed of thin material and was apparently not trimmed after being removed from the mold. I will shop around before replacing with another Dexter Ventline again.
This worked well on our airstream. Just needed aluminum paint for plastic.
