Re: [VAC] Vent Question
John
I recently received one from Inland RV. It was their own manufacture, and I
was not impressed. The handle was very different, the mechanism much
slower, and the price was $58.00 plus $10.00 shipping and handling.
Included in the box was gasket material for the vent, at a cost of $4.00,
that I could have bought at a hardware store for a buck. The whole thing is
going back to Inland, probably with a 20% restocking charge. I was
fortunate enough to find a guy who was selling parts off his '60s Land
Yacht, and was able to purchase from him the entire vent with both latches,
for $40.00.
