I just found that I'm missing a roof vent cap for the rear roof vent on my 2013 Redwood 31RLS. There are no markings on the vent which is about 5 inches in diameter (pic attached). The two forward 2 to 2.5 inch roof vent caps are labelled BPC MFG. Any help on a part number and source would be appreciated. Thanks.

Terry ... is a part look up table available?

I'm fairly sure it was Florida Robert That found a source for them on the internet or contact Tiara RV in Elkhart, but until then be sure to cover it.

I did not find them online, when I had the roof failure and lost one of my vent caps, Redwood direct shipped me a new replacement

This one from Amazon looks like it might be the right one:

But you can try Tiara RV in Elkhart as they are the parts people for our Redwoods.

I have found both of these covers loose on our RW and just is a knick of time. I insect the roof stuff everytime we head out and those two covers are usually loose. A small retainer from the cap the the roof could be a to-do project.

Thank you very much! I do believe this is a replacement. I also saw it an hour ago on the old forum:

I thought someone said the old forum articles were going to be linked or referenced to this forum.

Coincidence, someone on the Crossroads forum with an Elevation just posted the same problem, gave him the link.

The link you included is the other forum that Redwood sold to a private company. The alternative forum operated by Tony Lane was updated to this one.

We have investigated options of migrating the content from Tony's forum to this one, but at this time we cannot find an option that is both cost effective and doesn't require numerous hours of labour.

Still hopeful that one day we will find a solution.

I have lost two of mine because they just screw on. Look up mushroom rv attic vent cap and you should find one. You might want to buy two of them to have a spare. I just saw some for sale on e-bay. Cathy and I are sitting here in Myrtle Beach SC with the Barbers after about 8000 miles. In three days we will start heading home. How was Burning Man this year? Leeon Angel and Cathy too 🙂

Just another cheap quality control issue...

Are we Americans so dumb that we can't manufacturer one with a screw in it so that we don't have to constantly buy yet another vent cover or worse yet, suffer the damage from a driving rain storm since we didn't know the cheap B______ came off?

Any body in for starting a quality RV company with parts that don't fall off, get broken or that are incorrectly engineered?

There are now 400+ of us on this site. At $10K each, that would go a long way at starting one...

By the way...I have already lost two of those junk vents at $18 a piece...

When I was browsing the web for the attic vent and/or cover I saw where someone was adding one to a unit that didn't have one before. They showed a 50 cent sized radius of a silicone sealant inside the top of the cap before threading it onto the bolt. Logic would say that it was meant to help prevent it from unscrewing in the wind and falling off. Maybe I need to check my attic vents to see how easy they are to turn. If loose I think I might unscrew the covers and apply some silicone sealant and re attach cover, at least then it would be more difficult for them to loosen up and fall off.

Short answer is no!

Thanks. I'm quite amazed at all the support from the Redwood folks on this site. Thank you all! We got 'er done! I ordered the cap on eBay for $9.99

A dab of LocTite on threads would work also.

Loctite makes a liquid additive that serves similar to a lock nut which could greatly reduce the cap loss. I might try that verses adding a retention bracket.

(I didn't see the other note on Loctite use. Watching the news as I read my email.)
