Re: [VAL] vent cover



About a year ago, I ordered one of these elongated vent covers from Inland.
It didn't fit. It was 1/2" too short. According to Andy, Airstream made a
few vent openings that were larger than the standard size. I ended up making
one out of double thickness lexan with an angled aluminum edge that opens
with the original openers. Big bonus is seeing the stars at night. I used a
shade cloth mesh in the screen frame to cut down on heat and glare. If
you're interested, email me off list for more info and pic's. Built it in an
afternoon and has close to 80,000 miles on it.
