Has anyone replaced one? Can I just get a new plastic dome and rivet it to the alum frame? Jim

There are 5 or 6 diff hinge styles though so take whats left of your dome with you when you go that way they can match it up with correct lid. There is no other way for them to know without your old lid. Otherwise you will have to replace the whole assembly. They are $10-$16 depending on which hinge style you have. I manage a rv dealership is why I know this.

Plus they protect those sissy crank ups.They have a screen and really pull the fumes out traveling down the road.

The tailer is vented all the time and water doesnt get in.

Our local RV place had an exact replacement "pop up " and I don`t think it was more than $25.00 . Cheap fix , BUT my next vent will be the kind you ordered Jim.
