Solution for Water Getting in Ventline Vents While Driving
Updated 08/07/2025 | Published 07/09/2025
Question:
Hi, I have 3 vents on my rv that wont completly close tight and while driving in rain water does get inside. I replaced the operators to close the vents as well as replaced the Dome Seals for Ventline Ventadom. Is there an extension or possibly higher better dome seal I should use? any wisdom and recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey Steve, welcome back! Since you replaced those parts and it still isn't sealing well I recommend adding additional covers over the roof vents. The MaxxAir Standard Roof Vent Cover # MA00-933066 will install over your Ventline and keep the rain out while driving or parked. You probably won't be able to fully open the vents anymore but I do expect them to at least open 50% which will still let you achieve max airflow.
