Can it just be snapped on or do I have to remove the entire vent?

You just need to remove the old cap and install this on the pipe with the screws. It slides right on, no problem. I cleaned off my old caulk and re-caulked around things just to be safe while I was up there. This thing works great, btw.

You will need to get on the roof to determine what type of vent your rig has. My 5'er had a cap the just popped off. My MH vent is all one piece that is bolted and sealed to the roof. Other than that, follow JKs instructions.

Thank you so very much for all the help. My husband was concerned about removing the original entire vent of which he does not want to do.

No, it generally slides down over top of the stand pipe and then two or three small screws are put into the sides and into the stand pipe. I suspect you could use pvc cement and glue it but I'd recommend just putting the screws in. Also, depending how the old cap is put on you may want to put some putty around the base when you slide it down over it. This is probably a 45 minute job assuming the old cap comes off easily. Good luck, Jeff

You remove the existing vent cover and slide this one on. I think I screwed it on with some screws and put a caulking/sealant around the edge. Overall, it works great and you don't get odors inside the motor home or camper anymore.

additional, once you take the original cap off the stand pipe(usually screwed in) you can just slide the Cyclone over top of the pipe. The cyclone works great in keeping odors out of the rv.

No, you have to unscrew it. I preferred that for a little more theft deterance. Overall I love this rack

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.

It screws down from the outside so I don't see why the old vent cover needs to be functional, as long as you can open it or cut it off. However, removing the old vent cover is going to leave a way for air to escape. I suggest checking out some of the various videos on YouTube that show installation.

No it is not. First of all the universal mount is easily taken out. But you can open the sliding bottom door next to the mount to allow more air flow and, of course, open the upper vent. Frankly I would just remove the mount because, at this point, it isn't needed anyway.

Pretty easy sir. Pop the panel or screw/bolts. It's a 50/50 on the bracket that you use it or bolt. the new built kits are cheap and not very hard. 1 to 10 on removal/install 4.

It is simply tapped on with a block and hammer for install. To take it off I'd recommend some penetrating oil to loosen it, and tapping it downwards with a block and hammer.

That is exactly what I did. It snaps off but be careful! Yes, I then installed it on my old box)

Yea, you can just pull it off. I have it removed on all of mine and have done so for 20 years. It's easier to pull in and out that way.

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.

Dry it off, then use a hairdryer to blow into the vents. Partial disassembly is advised.Ron in Texas

Ya, you can remove it no problem. Easy on, easy off. The best by far holder I have ever used. You won't go wrong with this mount.

I'm not sure what you're asking- the laptop doesn't snap shut, or one of the case pieces doesn't snap in place? I had a little difficulty putting my bottom piece on. My solution was holding one corner in place and run my other hand along the front and sides, then used both hands to snap in the vent area. Hope that helps!

That's what it's made for, this one is very thin. Would only buy double thickness next time, not this one , also most models of fantastic vents have lifetime replacement on the covers, got a new one free from them, call them up with model number.

it fits over the existing Fantastic Fan. You unscrew 4 of the screws and screw down the included plates. These plates have posts that allow you to slide cotter pins through them. the vent cover can be removed without tools at any time.
