Vent Cover with Snaps

Our 2018 Revel has a 2nd roof vent instead of air conditioning, and that's been great for us. However, it's clear that it's a source of heat loss in the winter, and there are times when we'd like to block the light that comes through the vent cover.

I bought an Adco 18" Vent Cover, but didn't like the velcro patches that they shipped with it - - it was prone to falling off the vent.



It seemed to me that some snaps would be better, so I got some simple snaps for the job.



I used the existing screws in the vent, but added snap heads to them.



I added snaps to the vent cover, using an awl to align & punch the holes, and now it's a tighter, more secure fit. An easy job, it took about 45 minutes or so.
