Almost all of our vent lids are designed for a 14-1/4 by 14-1/4 inch vent. The easiest way to determine exactly which one you need is to examine the hinge setup of the existing vent, and match that up with the vent lids we offer. There are 4 different types of hinges. A 4 point hinge, a 3 point hinge, a plastic continuous hinge and a metal continuous hinge. I'll provide you with a photo showing those, as well as a link to the different vent dome lids we offer. Simpy identify the hinge layout and compare that to the replacements I've linked for you.

For example, the # BV0554-03 lid you referred to is for a Ventline ventadome and Elixer trailer roof vents after 1995. The vent features a continuous metal hinge.
