Branch fell on roof, knocked off vent cap

We had a tree branch fall on the roof of our 2017 25FB over the weekend. Called the rangers and the fire deptartment to help, it was quite a sight.

I should be able to better inspect the roof sometime today, but I know that there is a plumbing vent cover that fell off. It looks like it was minimally glued on.

I'm wondering if they just use pvc for the vents, or if I need a special glue to reattach. Any help would be appreciated!

Matt-

Our plumbing vent covers on our '14 just "snap" on over the base/pipe end that is attached to the roof of the coach. They seem a little weak to me but apparently are fine, lasting and staying attached while semis pass us on the interstate.

Check local hardware stores or RV places for replacement snap on caps. Mobile homes use the same cap, and that may help you find them.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Pete. It definitely slips over and I don't think it's broken, it just doesn't "snap". I'll try some pvc cement and see if that doesn't take care of it for me.
