Missing vent stack pipe cap ???

Am I missing the cap off of my vent stack pipe? This right about between the rear bedroom and shower on 2015 30’ International Serenity. It was there on our last trip 2 weeks ago and I just noticed it on this trip today. Click image for larger version

You'll need to buy the whole thing for about two bucks, but you can take the cap off the new one, and put it on what's there.

I would replace it with the 360 by lippert industries available on Amazon better than OEM

Recommend 360 Siphon from Lippert

Happened to me as well - not sure of the cause. When I looked into a replacement, I found 360 Siphon by Lippert Components as it was: a) recommended by other Air Forum members; and b) it employs an interesting siphon, air pulling dynamic. Install was very easy.

I'd trim the pipe just a little too. May have moved/flexed up into the cap and knocked it off. Should be a little space for breathing anyway.

Replacement done

I replaced the cap with a new one today. I realized that the black vent pipe coming up out of the roof was roughly cut originally at the factory and was actually about 1/8" too long, I could not get the new one on properly. I am surprised that the original cap stayed on for that many years. It was a matter of a few seconds to cut about 1/4" of the end the black plastic with a hacksaw. Now it is a clean cut and the new cap clicks on properly and appears quite secure. For only a couple of dollars, I ordered an extra one for a spare to keep on hand.
