How To Replace an RV Plumbing Vent

Sun exposure and age can lead to cracked plumbing vent covers on the roof of an RV. Installing a new vent is a quick easy job, completed with just a few simple tools.

Older style roof vents may not match replacement vents, which makes it impossible to simply snap a new cap onto an older vent base. This means having to replace the base, even if it's in good condition.

This is a quick, easy repair, completed without special skills in under half an hour.
