Well not everybody but usually several do. I saw one guy a few months ago about 3 coaches down from us getting ready to leave and I was watching him fiddling with his jacks. He couldn't get one of them up. I finally walked over an asked him what's going on. It was their first time out. He didn't know anything about his coach and had no tools. No tools can you believe that? I ended helping him fix the jack and get him on his way.
We were very fortunate that the previous owners installed vent covers on all the vents. We live in Oregon so vent covers are a must. We get too much rain here to not have them covered. I love your videos! They are very helpful and have made me aware of a lot of things I should be doing but didn’t realize I needed to. Preventative maintenance is so important in these expensive houses on wheels.
We just bought a used trailer and I needed to clean it from top to bottom. These vents are my last piece. There is definitely mold/mildew on the vent lid between lid and cover. I'll get up there (with someone by the ladder) with these cleaners and hope I can find the screws. I tried earlier but the cover seemed to be sealed down. I don't think I was looking in the right place. This was VERY helpful! You have a good attitude. Thank you.
Martín, you are an expert ! Plus, a great teacher! Thank you for letting Joannie, to get envolved on the RV maintainability . I am a women and I feel encouraged to change the RV’ oil and filter because she did it. Thank you!
Your info n your knowledge r 2nd to none! I greatly appreciate your videos, n I know they take many hours to put together. I made a comment to you that u were just trying to sell a product, I apologize for that I know u have a business to run. I’m a retired UPS driver 30 yrs, now full timing RV’ers. It been a 10 yr plan. Hope to see ya on the road. We’re in Maine for the summer, mostly Brunswick area. Please keep the video’s coming🚍
Apology accepted and glad you took the time to say so 🙏 And thank you for the kind words 🔧 My main motive for doing what I do is to help RVer's not make money. I see so much on the road where RVer's need help. Sometimes a lot of help. By doing these videos, many of them-in return-buy whatever they need thru my Amazon Store. It's helps with all the time and effort that goes into these videos. It takes about a week for each video. So it's not a business per se', but I do appreciate the pay back for my efforts. Remember, I'm retired too. Maine is such a beautiful place and without a doubt our favorite destination.
So true. We're newbies and 6 months into the purchase, we developed a leak. It was under warranty so we took it in, they put about 5 inches of dicor on , but the leaking remained. I got up there to investigate and all it was was cracked and broken vent lids. $15 per lid. No leak. If it had had rain guards it wouldn't have been a problem. Always great information
Three reasons why I put a fan cover on my maxxair. #1 can keep open in rain. #2 U.V. protection from my maxxair fan cover. #3 protection from hail damage.
Thank you for making these videos. I benefit from them a lot and I like how detailed you get. The video on how to descale the water is the very best I have seen. Thank you, Martin. Please keep making these.
Happy Thanksgiving, Martin and Joanie! Today was the perfect weather to climb on top of my rig to install the roof vent cover I purchased through the link on your site. Again, thanks so much to you both for creating such simple to follow but in-depth knowledge on the care and maintenance of an RV. Know that you are giving this 60 year old woman, who has never owned an RV before, confidence to feel she can handle anything that comes alongs with the correct tools in hand and step-by-step directions. Looking forward to tomorrow when I provide maintenance to the retractable steps and affix carpet pads (knowledge gained through another one of your wonderful videos). My husband is cracking up by the joy each project is bringing me but also impressed by my knowledge gained. He must have heard, "Well, Martin recommends..." or "The way Joanie does it is..." a thousand times already. All good and one step closer to getting the RV out of the driveway and on the road to new adventures!
"Well, Martin recommends..." or "The way Joanie does it is..." a thousand times already....... Jeanette you are such a sweet heart. I'm so glad your gaining this knowledge and putting it to work. 💋
@@RVstreet I just posted a link to your vent cover video on an RV Facebook site I'm a member of along with a pic of the vent that I installed (purchased through the link you provided). Someone just asked me if the fan cover opens all the way with the vent cover installed. I told them it didn't but it didn't impede the working of the fan. The question came up as to why you chose to install this vent cover and not one that is taller to allow for the fan to be fully opened. I told them I'd ask you and get back to them.
@@jeanettejeffrey3896 I got this style and brand because: 1) The way they are designed they create a lot more wind Turbulence-or draw- within the cover which draws out more air from the RV when you turn on the fan. 2) They're smaller, less wind resistance while underway 3) Easy install and easy to clean once a year 4) During nice weather, we open our vents and with the covers on it provides a nice quiet breeze throughout the coach with no whistling noise thru the cover 5) They're way cheaper that other brands and do a fantastic job. We bought 3 of them. I love saving money and hate spending high prices on so called "special RV parts". The RV fan lid that cranks open, almost opens all the way but it just doesn't matter. These covers create plenty of draw.
@@RVstreet I will be sure to share this along with your TH-cam link with the Facebook group. As always, thanks so much for so generously sharing your RV experience. You and Joanie are the best!
Thanks so much Peter. Yep, this without a doubt one of the smartest things any RVer should do. Using our links to purchase them is a great way support our channel too. It helps us keep making more vid's. thx so much for watching. 👍
@@mariehattenburg5560 I believe it was at Harbor Freight and in the back of the store they sell a pack-I believe it was a pack of 6-of interlocking rubber pieces that you'd put on a garage floor to provide a more cushion area to stand on. I trimmed off the puzzle locking edges, then with a razor knife cut the remaining rubber pieces into strips, taped two together to form my knee pads. I was able to make several of these pads out of one box. And I think the box cost something like $18 or so. 💕
The very first thing I did when we bought our travel trailer was to install vent covers over our bedroom and bathroom. It helps a lot especially when driving down the road, it helps to get the heat out of the inside of the trailer. These should be standard on all RV's
The link you sent me was for cleaning the vents. I think i bought the wrong vent covers. My vents don’t have an easy way to bolt on the vent cover hardware brackets because i have a power opener and i can’t get to where the nuts are supposed to go.
Good stuff!, One tip that I did, when I installed the vent covers on our last coach, I place a small dab of silicone sealant on the vent bracket nuts, just incase they were to loosen up.
This is just the video I was looking for. I just bought a used 5th wheel and the vent covers are filthy. I was wondering how I was going to clean them with the shroud cover over them. Thanks!
I just ordered some of that Thetford slide conditioner off Amazon, Going to use it like you suggest. My camper van has the max air fan with that built-in rain cover, you can keep it open all the time and rain will not get in, they are a little more expensive than the fantastic fans but they are worth it.
@@RVstreet Cool indeed - I am fixing the roof now around the vents and shower cover as you said with Dicor 501LSW-1 Epdm Self-Leveling Lap Sealant-10.3 Oz. Tube - I am in Arizona so the prep work starts at 5am to beat the heat. LOL
Thanks for watching Bob and your question 🔧 👍 Yes I do: th-cam.com/video/YKU2d-YAw0M/w-d-xo.html Here's a link to my PLAYLIST page also where I have all my videos in different categories: th-cam.com/users/RVstreetplaylists
Hey Martin I like it, we just bought are 3rd rv and they have 2 of those covers on them we never had them before ,your right every rv should have them . Question that 3M dry lube do you use that on your slides we never had a slide on are other trailers !
No, I use the 3M dry lube on the chrome shafts on my leveling jacks. On the rubber seals on my slides and other rubber stuff, I use my Thetford conditioner and protectant. Both are in my Amazon Store int he "Sealants, Lubes and Protectants" category. www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet
While roof vent covers do help a tiny bit, and allow you to vent without rain or bugs coming in (mostly), they still produce immense heat in the Summer's hottest days if you're not protected by shade. I know from personal experience. I had to get those thick 2" vent cushion insulators to shove up in there from the inside. The frame still produces heat that's transferred from the exterior part, but nothing near what it was doing. And the vent covers can increase your chances of leaks if it storms hard, so you have to caulk around the bottom gap, at least on your higher side.
Your comment... And the vent covers can increase your chances of leaks if it storms hard, so you have to caulk around the bottom gap The larger white vent covers that-I showed in this video-that mounts OVER the standard factory roof vents, absolutely do not increase or cause any leaks. Also, there's no place or a need to caulk around anything. Look again on how they are mounted. If anyone has leaking going on around their main cranking vents it's not the vent covers I demonstrated, it's the crank out vent covers that I serviced. Those roof vents do need to be sealed with Dicor self leveling sealant and should be check annually. Now if you do get into a bad weather blowing rain storm, then by all means crank your roof vents in until storm is over.👍
Hi, the video about cleaning the RV roof vent covers was really helpful. Can you please tell me the brand of the dry silicone lubricant and the slide out Rubber seal conditioner and where you purchased them from? Thank you!
I could have used this video a month ago. Hail damage through the vent cover on the 8th June and now thousands of dollars in damage to the roof innards UGH
@@shockingguy it was! I've never been in a vehicle with that amount of hail! Not only golf ball sized hail but 75 mph winds and 6 inches of rain in 15 minutes. By the end of the storm we had water pouring from the front two lights and the awning was damaged while it was retracted!
I answered this question above but here it is again... I also use 303 but just on my tires. This Seal Conditioner I showed in this vid is a conditioner and you'll luv this stuff for the things I mentioned. It's a different, creamy product and really restores the elasticity and softness of your exposed rubber parts.
Hint: In the 1980s, Neil Tillitson and Luc DeBecker invented nitrile gloves. Their corporation, the Tillitson Corporation, was granted a patent for the nitrile glove formula and production method in 1991 after producing the first 100% nitrile disposable glove.
I've owned my Okanagan Pick-Up Camper since 2012. Never heard of vent covers. What a great idea. I have a question. How can I raise the center of my roof, between the AC and the Moon Window, to where it was when I bought the camper?. It has become a low spot and puddles up there now, slowly seeping water into the Moon window seal (fixed many, many times). Eventually the puddle dries into a funky growth I need to bleach 4 or more times a year.
Possibly building up that low area up on the roof with several tubes of Dicor self leveling sealant so it will run away to the sides of the roof. Hard to say without seeing it.
I have a question, my husband and I purchased a 2004 keystone Laredo pull behind. The previous owners had started “updating” it, just some paint and new flooring. I noticed in the bathroom on the ceiling, the vinyl looked like it was separating from the wallboard, it was a small spot, the bathroom vent cover came open in the windstorm we had, when I went to close it, the vinyl separation was longer along the seam. I would like to know how to fix this.
If you're asking "How is Thousand Trails" in Conroe.....it's our home park and we luv that park. We have an Elite Membership and lots of friends there. Thousand Trails has really stepped up to the plate to help full timers during this COVID stuff big time. We luv TT over all.
RVstreet we are members as well and that is our main location. Just finished oil change, grease and cleaning ac evaporators thanks to your videos. Bought all the products from your links. Thanks again for your helpful videos.
Martin, I went to your store and purchased two of the Air Max covers and four of the vent stack caps that just came in this past week. I have a 2001 Country Coach with a one piece fiberglass roof and have a question...In Florida now, we have literally 95% humidity every morning. My windshield is streaked from the roof condensation runoff daily. I plan on washing the roof tomorrow prior to installing all the above and was wondering if you would recommend some type of liquid wax for the roof (in lieu of hand-waxing) that may protect from future streaking? Would 303 work on the roof or be to slippery? Thanks in advance. Jack
Hi Jack 😝 I hear ya loud and clear on the streaking. 😂 I decided to treat my roof once and for all to eliminate that, reflect heat, keep it from being slippery and makes it easy to wash. Waxing the roof is just another maintenance thing I don't need in my life. Waxing the roof is a BIG job. But don't do some of these other bone head remedies that some RVers do like apply liquid floor wax and other home brew solutions. You'll be sorry. I just can't recommend any other wax because that means you'll have to be doing that a couple of times a year. 303 will make it slippery for sure. Here's what I did: th-cam.com/video/H00oNtbvtrk/w-d-xo.html BTW.....edit....And thank you so much Jeff for using our Amazon Store. It means more than you know.
Well, I redid my roof coating about 6yrs. ago, so all I have to do now is wash it with the same high suds soap I use when I wash the RV. Coating my roof: th-cam.com/video/H00oNtbvtrk/w-d-xo.html Here's all the videos I've done so far: th-cam.com/users/RVstreetplaylists thx Stephen
Well I don't think that's going to be a problem because your vent edges are sealed with Dicor self leveling sealant which gives you a protective border. Then the vent covers are attached to the sides of your vents. So if you look closely at the video, our roof is not exposed at all. You're just cleaning the vents, the blades and the inside of the covers, therefore no Clorox spray is going to get on the roof material. But if you want a little added comfort, take a couple of large old towels up there with you and spread them out around the vents while you clean. 😃
I found out the hard way why vent covers are necessary. Hail damaged my vent lid, then water got into my ceiling. Hail might have damaged the cover but I might not have had the lid damaged. Covers are cheap insurance.
hello does anyone know how to clean the screens to this top vents? we bought a 2013 sunseeker and can't figure out how to get the screens out for cleaning..thank you so much if anyone can help..there are flies-leaves and other bugs dead on it..uggg I need to clean before we take it out...only one old couple owner with only 19,000 miles and thought it would be a good start for us to see if we like traveling on the road
The screens can be removed from inside but you have to take out the whole plastic housing it sits in (4 screws) to do that. Easy to do but kind of a hassle. The other easier way to do it is to vacuum the screens from the inside and then from the roof crank open the vents and vacuum the top side.
This video got a thumbs up the minute U said, "I don't like to sweat a lot."
Brother, I feel U. Seriously.
I have a feeling that you’re the guy in the RV park or campground that everyone runs to when something breaks. You are The BOSS.
Well not everybody but usually several do. I saw one guy a few months ago about 3 coaches down from us getting ready to leave and I was watching him fiddling with his jacks.

@@Racketts44 You're welcome Rick, and thank you so much for supporting our channel. It means a lot. 👍
Martin, I went to your store and purchased two of the Air Max covers and four of the vent stack caps that just came in this past week. I have a 2001 Country Coach with a one piece fiberglass roof and have a question...In Florida now, we have literally 95% humidity every morning. My windshield is streaked from the roof condensation runoff daily. I plan on washing the roof tomorrow prior to installing all the above and was wondering if you would recommend some type of liquid wax for the roof (in lieu of hand-waxing) that may protect from future streaking? Would 303 work on the roof or be to slippery? Thanks in advance. Jack
Hi Jack 😝
I hear ya loud and clear on the streaking. 😂 I decided to treat my roof once and for all to eliminate that, reflect heat, keep it from being slippery and makes it easy to wash. Waxing the roof is just another maintenance thing I don't need in my life. Waxing the roof is a BIG job. But don't do some of these other bone head remedies that some RVers do like apply liquid floor wax and other home brew solutions. You'll be sorry. I just can't recommend any other wax because that means you'll have to be doing that a couple of times a year. 303 will make it slippery for sure. Here's what I did:

BTW.....edit....And thank you so much Jeff for using our Amazon Store. It means more than you know.
What do you use to clean your roof? It’s so white. My one year old roof is all spotted and I can’t find a good cleaner.
Well, I redid my roof coating about 6yrs. ago, so all I have to do now is wash it with the same high suds soap I use when I wash the RV.

thx Stephen
Wonder if the Clorox Spray has any affect on TPO or EDPM roofs.
Well I don't think that's going to be a problem because your vent edges are sealed with Dicor self leveling sealant which gives you a protective border. Then the vent covers are attached to the sides of your vents. So if you look closely at the video, our roof is not exposed at all. You're just cleaning the vents, the blades and the inside of the covers, therefore no Clorox spray is going to get on the roof material. But if you want a little added comfort, take a couple of large old towels up there with you and spread them out around the vents while you clean. 😃
I found out the hard way why vent covers are necessary. Hail damaged my vent lid, then water got into my ceiling. Hail might have damaged the cover but I might not have had the lid damaged. Covers are cheap insurance.
Vent Covers are cheap insurance.....INDEED they are. They are a must.
thx for watching Edna. 👍
hello does anyone know how to clean the screens to this top vents? we bought a 2013 sunseeker and can't figure out how to get the screens out for cleaning..thank you so much if anyone can help..there are flies-leaves and other bugs dead on it..uggg I need to clean before we take it out...only one old couple owner with only 19,000 miles and thought it would be a good start for us to see if we like traveling on the road
The screens can be removed from inside but you have to take out the whole plastic housing it sits in (4 screws) to do that. Easy to do but kind of a hassle. The other easier way to do it is to vacuum the screens from the inside and then from the roof crank open the vents and vacuum the top side.
Yeah, I really like my vent covers, but they do let water in with horizontal rain and a big storm…..
I don't recall this ever happening but yes I could see how it could. Maybe we just closed ours during big storms.🤷🏼♀️
Not only forgetting to close them, they crack too. Especially is storing for awhile.
Very, very good point.
Gloves man… it goes in your blood …..just coz i care….
