The hinge side is different than my old one. Any ideas on how to hook it to my vent? No picture of the back? dont want to pay to ship back. Ideas?

Hey Sonny I don't think you can remove the hinge off with out breaking it. I think you would have to ask the seller if they make an older Vent and try attaching a picture this is what I did when I first purchased the Vent. Also make sure you give them the year and make of your Trailer or RV my friend. I hope this will help you God Bless

There are 2 hinge brackets and 2 clip brackets. They mount to the vertical side part of the vent with 2-3 screws/bolts (been a few years since I installed mine). Attach and then close the cover with the hinge side and then once closed, put clips in place. Takes about 15 min or so.

Mine came as shown and u take shroud off old one and put on new one. If u pull yours out and it looks the same in the back it will work there is a plug in the back u need to swap over as well.

mine has fake vent type indentations on the side, but no external open areas for fan exhaust. If there is a tiny fan inside, I sure don't know about it. I have used the USB ports, they work well

Is it the latch or the hinge? I made changes on the hinge by using a piece of 1/2 inch copper tubing the same length as the hinge and then cutting it on one side and straightening the sides out to make it the same shape as the plastic hinge. Then I drilled a hole to attach with a flat head screw. With the changes I have made, the cooler doors fit better than the way the factory made it. If it is the latch, I can't help you as I have not had a problem with it.

Mine came with two parts that attached together, as well as a small instruction sheet showing how put together. It sounds like you're maybe missing the part to fit in vent, at which point you should contact seller, since you can't get missing piece separately.

I am so sorry to say this...but this is a bad product...the attachment that is suppose to hook on the vent broke on my first attempt. Good luck.

What was suggested to me was to go to a hardware store and find a PVC pipe that will fit in side the vent. Then using a union join the pipe to your stack and join the vent to the PVC pipe. In theory the vent should work but I did not find that to be the he case. Perhaps I was expecting a more dramatic venting.

There is a flapper in the vent exhaust on the fan. It may be stuck. Those fans really work well. Just my guess.

We had to buy special pipes for the venting to work. If you call a local distributor (Rinnai) they can give you more details.

Traflet, I'm just another Fan-Tastic Vent Owner. I have nothing to do with Amazon or fantastic-vent except as an end user. Somehow Your question concerning replacing Your interior faceplate got sent to Me. Your query may have gotten lost in the process, best try again. Good Luck, Bill T.

The second picture shows the different hinge styles. This particular item is the old Ventline/new Elixir style hinge.

The new cover has two pins that it sits on then screws in at the top with a pin. So if you current one has a hinge type door then no it will not be a direct swap. Also it has a exhaust vent directly out the door and a vapor drain hose out the front. So without major modification I think you are out of luck. Or getting it painted to match but that would be a major expense.

You can change the orientation to make it either. Recirculate up out the top or exhaust out the back. I have a hole in my wall so I made mine an exhaust. It is pretty easy to change

It is easier then the old one. When you take out the old one remember to take off the 90 degree elbow and use it on the bottom of the new one. This way you will have more room to turn it in the back of the compartment, if it is as small as mine was. The top line is hot and the lower line is cold. There should be a cover plate in the back of your existing unit, you need to take it off to access the water lines, it is a tight fit. One can be turned by hand, but the lower one (cold water) is a little difficult, you may have to use a wrench to get it to turn at first. I hope that this helps and is what you are asking.

I would look closely at the many reviews that warn of missing side vents. It is highly likely that the piece will be defective. At that point it doesn't matter what tray it fits on. Buyer beware!
