Which roof vent cover to purchase?

in Modifications & Upgrades
We are researching which is the best roof vent cover to purchase for our new 2018 320S boondock. Is there one that fits without needing to drill new holes, that fits the current screw holes? Ideally, it could also fit a trailer cover. I’ve seen the Camco Aero flo. Does it work without needing to drill new holes?

Any recommendations? Thanks for the help!

    Aero Flo is great. You only drill 4 holes in the upright flange of the Fantastic Fan, not in the roof, easy to install and it works well, and it looks sleek. If you search for Aero Flo on the forum you’ll find many references to it.

    Aero Flo is what we have on ours.  Fairly easy installation using an extension ladder leaned over the roof.  It's nice to be able to leave the vent open during rain & while not in use.  We've also had the vent cracked open during travel. Plus, it not only fits under our cover, but provides some extra slope to the cover for deflecting debris, if you have trees nearby, like we do.

    I have the Ultrabreeze from Fantastic Fan. It allows the vent to be fully open and it required no drilling for me.

    We have the maxaire vent cover. Dealer installed it at purchase, so I can't verify the process, but I'm pretty sure it's the same as the aeroflow. Has a slightly taller profile but easily fits under the t@b cover.

    I have the fantastic fan vent. Required drilling, and roof seal...easy though, and vent opens full.

    Thanks for all the comments! I’m leaning towards the aero flo. I like the lower profile even if the vent can’t open fully.

    @LisaH, I have never felt the inability to fully open the Fantastic Fan vent has hindered the air flow with the AeroFlo cover installed. I had an Aero Flo for two years on my Silver Shadow Teardrop and now for 3 years on my T@B 320.

    We have the Aero Flo also. Works great and a very easy install.
