Roof Vents - How Many?

308rets · 03-10-2012, 07:46 AM

Hello Fellow Jayco Owners!

Does anyone know how many Roof Vents are in the Eagle Super Lite 308 RETS. We are heading to Camping World to buy Air Maxx Vents. Our new TT hasn't arrived yet, but we're trying to get a head start on our wish list. I think there are 3. Bedroom, Living area and Bathroom!

Thanks in advance for the help..
John & Janine

Click on the video in this link and you may be able to count them. I think I saw two.

If you click on Quahog's link, pick the second picture (top right) and zoom in, I counted 3.

Looks like 3 to me too.

If you have two air conditioners you will need two vents and three if only one ac.

Hi Gang, it does look like 3 (Main area, Bedroom & Bathroom). NOW, how sterdy is the side and roof of the trailer? Can I lean a ladder against the side and climb on the roof to install these. Not sure how much weight the roof can hold (I'm about 170 lbs).

Thanks again for all of your help everyone!

AT 170 you will be fine on the roof. Im 160 and my foof hardly flexes with me on it. I would pad the ladder where it leans on the trailer and it will be fine as well

The roof will support you no problem. If you have a rear roof ladder I'd use that. If not then pad your ladder with a piece of carpet scrap or old blanket.

We have 3 roof vents with only one A/C unit.

Hammer & Wiscampsin.. Your are right, padding the ladder makes sense which I figured I'd be doing as a precausion since I didn't order it with a rear ladder. Rood flex was a concern. Lady Ann, Thanks.. I was thinking three, but wasn't a 100% sure.. Everyone is always helpfull here.

Hoping we'll get a call this week that our camper made it to the dealer.. Fingers crossed. She was suppose to come out of production March 7th and was told it could take up to 10 days for delivery. Haven't heard one way or the other yet..

If you're worried about roof flex you could kneel in a small piece of plywood over say an old quilt or blanket to protect the roof membrane.

Just wanted to let you know that husband put the 3 vents on tonight and he did not fall through.

308rets · 03-13-2012, 05:33 PM

Thanks Lady Ann! They look so easy to install and now that I don't have to worry about falling through, I'm good to go!

Husband to said that two of the vents have metal collars that you are drilling into. The bit wants to walk. Either make a dimple first with a punch or be sure to start out really slow until it catches. Pre-assembling the permanent hinges [the ones that will be folding] on the ground made it easier too. Two of us to get things on the roof made it less tricky than climbing up the ladder with items to transfer to the roof. As I have said before, I am the worry wort, so I stayed to watch to make sure he didn't fall and crack his head on the concrete. He can't be dialing 911 if he is out of it.

But it went fine. The roof has a bit of a texture to it. It isn't slippery even with the sloping angle of it. Will not make cleaning it any fun though.

I wouldn't call that being a worry wart; I would call it being wise.
