Waste Vent Cap

[tkasten]

dieseleagle - good job! I think it looks great. The weather has improved here so I will be installing mine soon...... Tim

Thought I'd revive this old thread. These vents are still available, I just ordered a few and they still are $9.99. I just identified myself as a member of the Airstream forum and he knew exactly what I was talking about! Promised me they'd ship tomorrow and were very pleasant to speak to!

Thanks for the update on these caps. I've been looking for something like this for my '65 Safari restoration, and they'll be perfect. I like the idea of having a top cover over the opening, rather than the open pipe type that most use. I'll give them a call and order some later this week.

That's a cool idea! Thanks!

I bought two when this thread started, but just got around to installing it a couple of weeks ago. Cool little vent covers and they look great.

I only needed one, so I do have an extra. If anyone needs one, PM me.

cheers,

I think they're something like 5" tall. Can check later today if it matters.

They are 3.5 inches tall and 5.75 inches wide across the base.

Cool that helps

Do I need to drill drainage holes at the bottom like in the other more modern vents? Also is anyone putting screen inside to prevent hornets from making the ultimate home?

another quick question- what if I did not create a super tight seal around the vent allowing the rain water to leak out. There would not be much rainwater since vent is covered?

Just a quick note to say that this store is still going strong, still stocks these great aluminum vents AND still gets a chuckle when someone calls, identifies themselves as Airstreamers & want to order some vents. I ordered 2!!

has anyone put these on a '68 Safari? they look so much nicer than the SOB's we have now

[colberjs]

Old thread, new question. Those of you who have used these, do they look strange mounting them on the trailer and them not being straight up and down? It seems to me it would not look right but what do I know?

I would really like to get some for my '64 project.

I thought that they would look like someone holding a couple of beer cans on top of their head but on my little Caravel I think they're cute, like little ears.

Nice find!

I just ordered 3. Still $9.99 + $15 shipping (ack!).

Just purchased 2 of these gems. 9.99/each 15/shipping total 37 and some change. Real nice people. Just told them I wanted the aluminum Airstream vents. He knew exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the postings. Glad I found this thread before putting interior skins back on. Keep this thread alive!

I still don't understand why the original plumbing stack vent on my 1980 Aistream has the rubber gasket and screws. I am going to attach this with buck rivets at 2" spacing and Vulkem like everything else. Is there a reason that the original uses a gasket instead of just being built to last much longer like the other seams on an Airstream?
