I would like to install a vent cover over the fantastic fan on my new 400. Florida can get muggy, hot, and rain and I'd hate to lose the breeze from the Fantastic fan from closing the vent because of a storm (which it does a bit here.) I was able to get to the vent on the 320S by stradling the top; one foot on the stepladder and the other leg straddling the roof - not real safe, but I was able to get there without placing full weight on the roof. The 400 is a different animal, one foot wider and taller.
If anyone has installed a vent cover on the 400, how did you do it? Are these roofs walkable?

Lol, its starting to sound like one of those famous DIY car projects where you find out that you have to go out and buy a $100 tool to install a $20 part and you'll have no use for that tool again. I already have an Areo Flow vent cover, but I guess I'll wait until I have a chance to poke around in some friend's garage, or I find a tree limb of just the right height to back up underneath

@knoxville1915, yes I see your point, thanks for posting this. That doesn't look like something I want to have with low hanging limbs. After a weekend in my new 400, I can see your point about ventilation. After washing it for the first time and seeing for myself just how inaccessible that part of the roof is, I don't want to have to have a reason to go up there if I can help it. We had our typical 3 hour Spring again this year and are quickly falling into air conditioner weather so I doubt the cover would serve that much purpose.
Wow, you went from a 2017, 400 to a 2018? Do you mind me asking me the difference?
