Most roof vent orders start with one simple check: are you replacing the whole hatch, just the broken lid, or adding a powered fan for better airflow? Measure the roof opening first. If the old vent is still fitted, take a photo of the brand, hinge, winder and inside frame so you can match the right style before ordering.
Replacing the whole vent? Measure the hole first
For a complete replacement, start with hatches and skylights and measure the roof cut-out before comparing styles. Common caravan roof vent openings include 280 x 280mm, 355/356mm square, 400 x 400mm, 500 x 500mm and 700 x 500mm. Also check roof thickness, inside trim depth, corner shape and whether the old vent was sealed or framed differently.

Need more airflow? Look at powered vents
A 12V exhaust vent is useful for bathrooms, showers, cooking areas and hot vans where natural airflow is not enough. Compare the cut-out size, fan direction, rain dome or rain sensor, remote control, thermostat, LED light, blind and insect screen. The roof vent comparison is the quickest way to compare current powered options.
Replacing a lid? Match the brand and hinge
If only the lid is broken, do not choose by size alone. Ventline, Jensen and Elixir lids can look similar but use different hinges, winders and screens. Use the hatch lid identification guide before ordering roof vent spare parts, especially if the old lid has blown off and the hinge on the base is all you have left.
You can often identify the brand from the flyscreen. Ventline screens are about 340mm square. Jensen screens are about 355mm square with the winder hole about 55mm from the start of the mesh. Elixir screens are also about 355mm square, but the winder hole is about 75mm from the start of the mesh.

Heki and skylight parts are model-specific
For Dometic and Seitz Heki skylights, identify the exact model before choosing parts. Mini Heki, Midi Heki and Heki 2 parts are not automatically interchangeable, and push-bar, crank, electric and LED versions can change the correct frame, dome, blind, stay or mounting kit. Use the Heki skylight guide with Dometic and Seitz vent parts when repairing an existing skylight.

Check where the vent is fitted
This page is mainly for vents fitted through the caravan roof. Wall vents, fridge vents and gas flue cowls are usually chosen by the appliance or wall opening instead. If you are repairing airflow around a fridge, heater or hot water system, match the appliance vent or diagram rather than choosing a roof hatch.
