Replacement 40cm roof vent for an 05 Symbol?  Empty Replacement 40cm roof vent for an 05 Symbol?

Post by Trophy Camper Sat Nov 07, 2020 7:40 pm

Hi all. Has anyone ever replaced the 40cm x 40cm vent above the kitchen area for a different make? I'm looking at various vents online and I'd like to get a clear one. The closest fit is the fiamma crystal 40 but I've noticed that its only for a 39cm x 39cm hole. All the others seem too big. It's very close to a cupboard so it's a bit tricky to find a suitable replacement.

Yes, it's weird, i know. The dimension drawings show a 39x39cm hole.

I've seen the Fiamma used to replace an mpk so don't know where they take the measurements from but should be no problem.

Thanks Paul. I may take a chance and buy one.

After much thought, I'm just going to replace with a brand new MPK vent. The fiamma crystal also requires drilling into the roof. I'm just not comfortable with that. That's a whole load of new future potential leak points. It's a shame that MPK don't do a clear version of that old vent. They do a clear dome but it's a different shape and would clash with the little spolier.
