19Dolphin85 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I've got a 1984/85 Dolphin, and need to replace the forward escape hatch and assembly. I've read on this forum about the Elixer 17x24, but it looking around it seems like the one by Heng's might be a closer match: http://www.ebay.com/itm/roof-vent-ESCAPE-Hatch-white-lid-metal-frame-rv-bus-Hengs-48621-C2-/221258719528 . Any help or experience would be very helpful in deciding which to order. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Remove your interior garnish and measure the exact roof opening. Some of the older ones are no longer made so you need to know exactly what opening your dealing with Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whyverne14 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yeah I gotta do mine too. Please let me know what you come up with. That one does look like mine. Through my job I go to a local big time RV place a lot. So I got to know those guys. I was a bit surprised that their prices aren't really that out of line. I buy most of my parts there. And I asked him, "Hey how much do you get to put in a vent?" He said 50 bucks. So I'm thinking about that. I know it's going to take me all day if I decide to do it myself. With no guarantee.

19Dolphin85 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thanks for the help, got the vent replaced today, just in time for the next rains. Lots of measuring lead to the right part on the first try, so thought I'd let you all know that Heng's part #58621-C2 worked perfectly for my Dolphin, let it rain.

19Dolphin85 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Didn't realizie there are multiple sizes for the same part #58621-C2, the bit that worked for me was the 17 x 24" escape roof vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
