G'day,

I just got an electronic flyer from Adventurer RV for a solar powered vent for the plumbing riser.

Normally they're $35.99 on sale for $21.99.

Here's the link in case anyone's interested.

I have ABSOLUTELY NO idea if this unit is any good!

The sun shines all day, the system needs venting 24 hours. Just my thoughts.

Rob,

It vents 24/7 but the fan doesn't run at night.

Most of our current vents are passive... no fan even if the sun is shining. I AssUMe that they still vent without the fan pumping the "poo-gas."

doesn't fit. too big for the curved sides, and too close to the refer roof vent on 26' coaches.

Yes, I tried one.

Chris,

Do you still have it?

If yes what are the dimensions?

The roof vents on an Avion are located in completely different areas than a GMC.

If it fits I'd be willing to buy it from you.

Regards,
Rob M.

I like the "weather vane" type venturi vents.

They follow any breeze and put the opening on the
downwind side and the venturi that is created sucks
out offending gasses. Even if there is NO wind, the
gasses are lighter than air and the situation is no
worse than just a straight vent pipe!
