Camco 14 x 14 In. Replacement Lid Fits Ventline and Elixir Camco 40187 -- Replacement Roof Vent Lid, 14 x 14 In., White

Stop letting a cracked or brittle vent lid be the reason rain gets into your RV. The Camco 40187 is a direct-fit replacement lid for the most common 14 x 14 inch non-powered roof vents on the market -- specifically Ventline vents made before 2008 and Elixir vents made from 1994 onward. Molded from impact-resistant white polypropylene with rust-resistant mounting hardware included, this is a straightforward roof-accessible swap that takes most owners under 30 minutes.

The Right Lid When Yours Has Had Enough UV

Roof vent lids take a beating. Constant sun exposure makes polypropylene brittle over time, and a single windstorm can crack or completely detach an aging lid. The Camco 40187 is built to the same geometry as the original Ventline and Elixir lids so it drops right into the existing hinge mounts on the vent body -- no drilling, no adapters, no sourcing hardware separately.

This lid is preassembled and arrives ready to install. The white finish blends with standard RV rooflines and reflects heat rather than absorbing it, which helps keep interior temperatures down in summer. If your current lid is yellowed, cracked, warped, or missing, the 40187 restores a weathertight seal and full open-close function.

Impact-Resistant Polypropylene

Molded from heavy-duty polypropylene that resists cracking from UV exposure, road vibration, and accidental impacts better than aged original lids.

Rust-Resistant Hardware

Mounting hardware included with the lid is rust-resistant, keeping fasteners from staining your roof or seizing during future removal.

Preassembled and Ready

The lid ships fully assembled. No sub-component assembly required -- remove the old lid, attach the new one using the included hardware, and done.

Broad Fitment Window

Covers two major vent brands: Ventline (all pre-2008 production) and Elixir (1994 through current). Broad enough to match the vast majority of older RV roof vents.

What You Get

  • 1x Camco 40187 replacement vent lid, white polypropylene, preassembled
  • Rust-resistant mounting hardware (screws/fasteners for lid attachment)
  • Fits standard 14 x 14 inch vent opening

Fitment Confirmed For:

  • Ventline roof vents -- manufactured before 2008
  • Elixir roof vents -- manufactured 1994 and later (1994-up)
  • Standard 14 x 14 inch non-powered vent bodies (the most common size in Class A, Class C, fifth wheels, and travel trailers)

This lid is for non-powered, manually operated vent assemblies. It does not include a vent body, hinge arm, screen, or crank mechanism -- lid only.

Installation Overview

Installation is a roof-access job. You will need to safely get on the roof, remove the fasteners holding the old lid to the hinge bracket on the vent body, and attach the new lid using the included hardware. No sealant is required on the lid itself -- the lid sits above the vent body and sheds water away from the opening.

  • Check your vent body brand and manufacture date before ordering to confirm fitment
  • Inspect the hinge arm and screen while the lid is off -- replace those separately if damaged
  • Torque fasteners snugly but avoid overtightening into polypropylene
  • Inspect roof sealant around the vent base perimeter while you are up there -- reseal if cracked

Heads Up -- Lid Only

The Camco 40187 includes the replacement lid and mounting hardware only. The vent body, hinge arm, interior garnish ring, and insect screen are not included. If your vent body frame, hinge mechanism, or screen is also damaged, those components must be sourced separately. Camco and other suppliers offer complete vent assemblies and individual hinge/screen components.

Roof and Vent Maintenance Tips

  • Inspect all roof vent lids at the start of each camping season -- UV damage accelerates in warmer climates
  • Keep the hinge pivot clean and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant annually to prevent stiff or snapping operation
  • Check the perimeter lap sealant around your vent flanges every season and reapply Dicor or equivalent self-leveling sealant where cracking is present
  • Close vent lids before driving -- open lids at highway speed are the most common cause of hinge damage and cracking

Important Information

  • This is a replacement lid only -- vent body, screen, hinge arm, and interior ring are NOT included.
  • Confirm your vent brand and manufacture date before purchasing: Ventline pre-2008 OR Elixir 1994-and-later only.
  • Not compatible with powered (fan) vent assemblies such as Fantastic Vent or Maxxair -- those use different lid geometry.
  • Not compatible with Ventline vents manufactured 2008 or later -- Camco offers separate part numbers for newer Ventline body styles.
  • Roof access is required for installation -- use proper ladder safety and work on a cool, dry roof surface.
  • Do not drive with the vent lid in the open position -- highway wind loads can crack or detach the lid and damage the hinge.
