Direct replacement vent lid for Jensen metal base roof vents manufactured 1994 and later. Black polypropylene. Impact-resistant. Reinforced center bar. Pre-assembled — mounting hardware included. Fits all 14"×14" vents.
This vent lid is specifically designed for Jensen roof vents with a metal base manufactured 1994 and later. Key identification points: • Brand: Jensen • Base material: Metal (not plastic) • Year: 1994 or later Confirm all three criteria before ordering. Jensen vents with plastic bases or pre-1994 manufacture dates use a different lid design and are not compatible with this replacement.
The Camco 40173 is the correct replacement vent lid for Jensen roof vents with metal bases manufactured from 1994 onward. Jensen vents are found on a wide range of older and mid-era travel trailers and motorhomes, and the metal base design requires a lid specifically matched to its hinge and mounting profile — a generic or wrong-era lid will not seat or seal correctly.
Black polypropylene construction with a reinforced center bar arrives pre-assembled with all mounting hardware included. Replacing a cracked or broken vent lid promptly eliminates one of the most common sources of RV roof leaks.

Verify compatibility first: Confirm your vent is a Jensen with a metal base manufactured 1994 or later before installing. Metal vs. plastic base: Jensen made both metal and plastic base vents. Check your vent base material — this lid fits metal base only. Pre-assembled: The lid arrives fully assembled — no prep work needed. Hardware included: All mounting screws and hardware are in the box. Inspect the vent hinge and frame before installing. If the hinge or base frame is damaged, the lid may not seal correctly even with the correct replacement part.
