White Rhino Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 go to camper world and get the lifetime ones and then the vent covers course that is my humble opinion the stock ones are junk they crack and get brittle with our sun!

dunefreak Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 ^ my thoughts exactly. I just replaced my original ones on my 06 Sandpiper because one flew off. You could poke your finger right through those things after they got all sun damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randog Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 If a vent is over a bed, some guys are putting black vent covers over that vent to keep the sun outta their face while sleeping. :kissass: Food for thought. Either way the vent covers are easy to install. I just did one on mine :kissass: R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way the vent covers are easy to install. I just did one on mine :kissass: R- i have an 05 attitude, and i just replaced mine at the end of last season....manufacturers get the cheapest bulk items they can.....just part of being a toyhauler owner i went to camping world and got the lifetime white ones. the black ones were twice the price. I used a black rattle can on the inside of the one over the back bunk bed...looks like it came black from the inside...and white on the outside, as to not draw in the heat. install is easy...gotta undo the hand cranks inside first and get the screen off, so you can unhook the slide mechanism to get the top off on top of your rig, there are a couple pieces of metal to bend open, and the old lid (probably just a frame now...lol ive been there) just slides off. take that frame with you to camping world, so you get the correct type of cover. there is like three or four different kinds, so be sure you get the right ones one of the easiest fixes i had to do on my hauler.

dunefreak Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Even the white ones that are the way thicker lifetime ones block out quite a bit of light compared to those cheesy factory ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
