Hello everyone
Maybe someone can shed some light on this issue for me;
I have a mid-80's FunChaser, and the roof vent/escape hatch cover was missing. Measures 22"x22". So, I checked eBay, and got a whole new unit.
After spending an hour removing the old one, the new one measures 21 5/16 square, the old one is 21 1/2 square....the cutout itself is exactly 22x22. New unit is too small to seal the opening by about 1/2" on all sides.
There was no brand or model # on the old one. Looks like there are a number of brands out there...Elixir,Astro, Jensen. Has anyone run into this problem?!?

Thanks!

I have a 90Hi Lo Classic with the same size escape vent. some years ago hubby spoke with some one at the factory about replacement.He was told they don't have a suplier for this part. We cover/baby the one we have. I would call JR in Ohio to see if he has any. Things might have changed. I wonder if you couldn't somehow fill in the space to make the newone you have fit. Tricky to do any not create a roof leak. Sorry I don't have a good solution for you. sam

Dave,
You could also try Joel at Home - The Official HiLo Trailer Parts & Service. He also was a former employee of the Hi-Lo factory. He has quite a few things listed including the prices. There is also a email addy to email him to check to see if he has the vent cover you're looking for. I do know he doesn't have everything listed that he carries. Between Joel at Hi-Lo Trailer Parts and Jim & Rob at J&R Repair my guess is one of these two places could help you. I have gotten things from both places. When we were in Ohio last year I do remember boxes of vents sitting around J&R Repair like you are looking for just don't know if you can just buy the cover or if you would have to buy the whole unit. Hope this helps you.

Deb
