Oops, I ordered 3 !!!

Don't cry yet.    I was able to trim my camco with a utility knife.   You might be able to fit yours with a bit of trimming.

I have a Dremmel...

The reason I only ordered 2 is that I didnt want to block the light in the bathroom.  My CL doesnt have the skylight above the shower, I wish it did.    That being said I may look for a smaller translucent cover.

Hmmm, I wonder why this one is not compatible with vents that have fans in them?

Surfsup I believe they are installing an original MaXXair which is not recommended over a high powered fan.   The Maxxair II is fine over any of the high pwered fan vents.

just curious... thanks

My neighbor was kind enough to install my MaxxAir II vent covers. Went well except the vents edge rest on the goop they applied around the vents. Not directly on the roof.

There is at least a 1" wide bead around my vents. We didnt want to remove any sealant goop so the MaxxAir bottom edge is maybe 1/4 inch raised.  The installation video has it sitting perfectly flat on the RV roof. However, as I watched the video its a mock up with
no sealant applied.  I dont think it will be any kind of functionality issue,  it's just looked odd until I saw the video again.

I'm sure my 3rd rear vent (Bathroom)  has plenty of space to install a vent cover without needing to trim of vent pipes.  I may install
one if I can find a "clear" plastic vent cover.  I dont want to decrease the sunlight in the bath, I dont have the shower moon window :-)


EDIT****......

After reviewing the Original MaxxAir install video embedded in a previous post, this looks more like what I encountered with vent sealant.
They installed on a real RV vs a mock up.  Lots of sealant and the MaxxAir seats on the sealant just a little off the roof material.

I'll let you know how mine mount up. My first vent arrived Wednesday but I refused the shipment - it was destroyed. The other two arrived yesterday undamaged - I hope to get them on tomorrow or Monday.

BTW, my first two HDs were Shovels a '67 FLH and a '80 FXEF.

Surfsup I was going to comment on the "flexibility" of the MaxxAir II covers. They feel pretty flimsy but if the material
was very rigid I think it would be a tough job getting a good fit. I think the designers knew they needed to use a plastic with
flexibility.

Cool on the Shovelheads. I love that motor. Very easy to work on and nearly indestructible.

They look great, Shovelhead..

[jtelles3993]

I did take a good look at the bath fan today and the plumbing vent isn't going to be a problem with mine..

Surfsup does your 21RBS have the moon roof over the shower?  Wish mine did.  As far as using a vent cover over the bath vent, I agree, shoudnt be an issue. Plenty of room.  Without that moon roof in the shower, I'm going with a translucent vent cover and not the black. I dont want to decrease the lighting in  the bathroom.

[jtelles3993]

Yep, mine has the moonroof (or skylight). I'm putting the translucent on all 3.
