Rooftop vent screen

targ · February 2019

I was going around our new T@B putting screens on the various penetrations. I pulled the cap off the roof vent above the shower (is that the black tank vent?) and found this little gem already installed from the factory. I was puzzled because this appears it would work on the side vent (under the antenna port) as well, yet there is not a screen on that one.

I knew I'd never be able to explain what part I wanted to the dealer so I emailed NuCamp. Elsie said she was unaware that they were installing anything like this.

So, I ask the forum. Can anyone ID this screen so I can get another one for the side vent? It is flanged so it doesn't look like any of the Camco screens I've seen. And it's stuck in place with sealant so I don't want to pull it off to see if there is a number on the other side unless I really have to.

O, if it helps, this is a 2019 320S Boondock Lite.

That vent on top is the air conditioner intake vent. The black and gray tank vent is located on the driver's side.

@DurangoTaB had to replace his. I am betting he can chime in and share where he got his...if he isn't off snowshoeing in the high country, somewhere.

Snooping around Google, I stumbled upon this company.

Not the same screen @targ depicted, but I thought I would share the site. I do not know the diameter of the roof A/C or side holding tank vent pipes, but they sell 1" circular screens. (The screens, "Maurice Franklin," are also available via Amazon.) I have been looking for something similar to use on the Alde vent for a cleaner look than the larger square Camco vent screen.

SOLVED.

This morning I got an email from Elsie saying that they are installing that screen now and that it is an RS-100 from Maurice Franklin Louvers.

Looks like you wouls have to remove the current vent entirely to install the RS-100. Nit sre how you would permanently attach it?

@BigGrover , no, you just remove the screw that secures the cap, pull off the cap, and there's the screen. No need to remove the vent or break any seals. The screen is attached to the tube with just a bead of RTV or whatever the clear caulk is they use at the factory.

Sorry Targ, I was thinking about the Alde vent on the side of the T@b 400.

Take a mesurement and head out to your local dollars store to get a food strainer. Pretty sure that something this size is available. Then cut the handle. Just a tought.
