Vent Cover for Ventline Old Style Rounded Dome Trailer Roof Vents - White
The order was processed quickly and I was kept informed on the status with e-mails. Vent cover installation and fit up was easy. The mate up of the existing open/close mechanism was a little "fussy". But a re-review of the included instructions confirmed the correct orientation. After I applied a small amount of grease to the friction retaining clip and slide, it was working as good as new.
Pleasantly pleased with this vent cover. Its fit over the roof opening of our 20 year old hay trailer was a bit tight so the plastic dome wouldn't descend flush to the trailer roof. It seemed the closing edge opposite the hinge was bowed inward a little. (Might have been compressed during shipping, but the outside of the box was not damaged). Anyway, I was able to gently bend it outward without damage using a channel lock on the supporting galvanized brace which runs from the hinge to the opposite side. The excellent instructional video attached to the dome part on etrailer's digital shopping catalogue was very helpful. I changed the screen too. I was able to find an older style screen on the Walmart website which did not require me to drill a new hole for the crank handle as demonstrated in the instructional video on the etrailer.com site. At half the price as etrailer's screen and double the shipping cost from Walmart, cost for replacing my vent dome was a horse apiece. Thanks etrailer. I'm very happy.

Vent Cover for Ventline Old-Style Rounded Dome Trailer Roof Vents - Smoke
My experience with etrailer could not have been better. Their online catalog had very good pictures and product description, so I was confident the I was ordering the right item for my application. Pricing was competitive. George J emailed me after I placed the order to let me know he upgraded my shipping so I could get the product sooner. The vent covers came well packaged and undamaged. Now I need to install them on my vintage 1964 Airstream Overlander, which I bought several years ago and rehabilitated. The white plastic vent covers I installed several years ago became brittle and crumbled. I hope the smoke colored ones I bought from etrailer will last a bit longer, but the price was so fair I bought an extra pair for the next time.
The roof vents that I purchased was exactly what I needed! The shipping was fast. I installed them myself yesterday and it was pretty simple! I have purchased from etrailer.com before and have been very pleased with my purchases! Thank you!

Metal Low Profile Replacement Cover
I waited several months before writing a review so that I could make sure this replacement cover didn't leak. It hasn't! It was really easy to install which I did myself. For reference, I'm a 53 year old woman. Our trailer is an enclosed aluminum trailer, and this cover fit perfectly.
The cover came very quickly and securely in the mail, very durable, well constructed and stream-lined. Installed fairly easily with your on line installation Tudors. Unfortunately my base has a different type hinge, so a few minor challenges, but for the most part doable. I still need to find a friction clip to secure my top to the actuator mechanism, but hopefully I can find it locally. Our Arizona sun destroys most plastics as our original cover had failed in about five years. I am very pleased with my new cover top, looking to it meeting and exceeding our needs!

Replacement Dome Assembly for Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent - White - Wedge Shape - Plastic
I bought this to replace my crumbling and cracked vent on my 20ft car hauler encased trailer. It was a direct fit and easy to install.
Fit perfect! Was just what I needed. There was even a video showing how to install. It even shows other related and parts that connect to the part incase those may be needed as well.

Replacement Dome Assembly for Ventline Ventadome Trailer Roof Vent - Smoke - Wedge Shape - Plastic
The numbers on the original vent are "AS-13 M-VDO449". The correct item number to order is BVD0449-A03 (for smoke color). There is a note on the etrailer site about this issue for a white cover, but they don't specifically tell you which item number to order for the smoke color. Printed instructions on the new vent were excellent in most respects. But there was nothing about how to remove the safety clip from the outside of the camper. More importantly, reinstalling the clip was the hardest aspect of this replacement. To remove the vent, you must first go inside and remove the black handle, screen, plastic cowling and plastic separator. You must then remove the two screws holding the cranking assembly in order to remove the white plastic slide from the vent. I was able to remove the clip by slipping a small flat head screwdriver under the top of the metal clip and prying it up carefully to avoid breaking or bending it too far. The new cover is then easily placed under the camper's hinge tabs and lifted into place. You may need to try to install the metal clip first so you can see how it fits together. In the photo the top of the clip is on the right while the left shows the extra tab which goes under the plastic vent. It took me a good 20 minutes to get the metal clip to seat properly over the two metal tabs on the vent frame.
These vents work well and they are a perfect fit if you are replacing existing ventadome vents. The Smoke color is my favorite, lets plenty of light in, but does not produce any glare. They are a bit difficult to change if damaged. They are also susceptible to grape sized hail damage resulting in cracks and leaks. 4 Stars because changing them required removing the inner trim ring, screen, screen support frame and leaver arm assembly. I also wish they offered a thicker or hardened version for those of us who deal with hail all summer.
