Replacement heat vents

Just wondering if anyone has found a source for replacement vents that are heavier duty than the recycled beer can ones Keystone (and most other makers) use? We haven't destroyed any yet, but we've only owned our Monty for about six months (and I doubt the previous owners used it more than once or twice). I can see it coming and would like to get ahead of this one.

We replaced ours with a Lowes product. Did have to adjust for different screw hole locations.

Replaced ours with a set from Costco, for the living area vents. The bedroom one is a smaller size. The nice part is you can regulate them and another plus is doing it with your foot.

Lowes bronze colored metal ones with ability to close the louvres. That helps keep dirt out and made the livingroom a little classier. No more magnetic covers.

If your particular RV has seemingly odd sized vents ... try a place (Sutherlands for instance) that deals in trailer house ventilation vents as they are or used to be a bit different in size than standard stick house vents. Like mentioned, get the ones that can be closed by moving a small lever on on end. It helps the AC just a bit.

We got ours at Lowes and they have the capability of being closed or open.
