What is this vent for?

Hey guys...

I got bit by a tree the other day and it broke the top off of a white vent of some kind right at the front of my camper. The inside looks like a colander kind of. There is another one in the back undamaged. It's just a smooth white cap on top. I have 4 black vents for my tanks, so not sure what these two are.

It started raining today and we had some drops collect in the closet light, so we ran up and rubber-banded a zip lock over it for the short term. That seems to have addressed it short term. Any ideas?

Thanks as always!

It is the attic vent or the vent that let's excess heat and moisture out of the ceiling area or between the ceiling and the roof. I lost one and to replace it I had to buy the whole vent setup!

I was afraid of that Rondo. Is this something I can just pick up online of at CW? Or do I need to order it from Keystone? Any clue?

Was it difficult to replace? Other than digging up the sealant I'd guess no...but that's just a guess...

I assume this is what you are looking for:

Mushroom Attic Vent

I have the 2014 mountaineer 331 and I do not have any attic vents only the black and grey vents on top. Is this something that I should look into adding, because I live in southwest Florida and the roof is in the sun for half the day then in the shade the rest. it seems my roof gets dirty and moldy more than other roofs I see around the park.

You can pick those vents up at CW both online and in the stores.

Never saw attic vents at cw, just the small 3-4 inch sewer vent covers. Will have to look closer next time I am in one. Mine are still okay, but I know they are going to bite it from the sun. No vents on a mountaineer....wonder if this is true for all or they forgot to put them on this one mountaineer? Good question for mr sessions. John
