1. Carefully remove any existing sealant around the base of the old vent using a putty knife or scraper.
2. Unscrew and remove the old vent from the RV roof. Note the orientation for the new installation.
3. Thoroughly clean the area where the old vent was located. Remove all old sealant residue, dirt, and debris to ensure a clean surface for the new sealant.

4.3 Installation of New Vent

1. Apply a bead of butyl tape or RV roof sealant around the underside perimeter of the new Camco vent base. Ensure complete coverage to create a watertight seal.
2. Position the new vent over the existing plumbing vent pipe opening on the RV roof. Align the screw holes with the previous holes if possible, or mark new pilot holes.
3. Secure the vent to the roof using appropriate screws. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the plastic.
4. Apply a generous layer of self-leveling RV roof sealant over the screw heads and the entire perimeter of the vent base to ensure a completely watertight seal. Extend the sealant slightly beyond the base onto the roof material.
5. Allow the sealant to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before exposing the RV to weather.
