It is common to have items on your RV roof become sun damaged and then eventually break or go missing. A common one would be the plumbing vent. There are many times that you can get away with replacing just the cap, and not the entire vent—where you have to remove the roof sealant and putty tape.
I want to introduce you to a cheater plumbing vent cap. This replacement cap is designed with a spring tension attachment, which eliminates the need to replace the entire vent. Simply insert it into the plumbing vent pipe, align the mounting screws hole and add a screw to secure it in place.
Here’s a little more about it…
