Roof vent in Devon need help

Post by Da dan »

I need a new roof vent and noticed that the jk site only stock a bigger one. Anyone have any idea where I can get a like for like? So I don't need to cut a bigger hole? Please.

If you have a Devon conversion with a cracked and sun bleached Elixir skylight - or need repair parts i may have found a supplier.

One of the few things letting down the apperance of my camper is the gaffer taped/ cracked and sun bleached skylght.

Having spent ages ringing around and searching on internet, the only supplier I could find for elixir 14X14 skylights was in america -

I didnt want to replace the complete old original Elixir unit with the newer Fiamma white ones as I think it would look a bit odd being brilliant white (orange or smoke seem to be the original vent colours) and the fiamma required the hole in the pop top enlarging so I have been putting up with the original whilst searching for reasonable condition secondhand.

I have found a uk company called ABP accessories tel 01664 561494 - http://www.abp-accessories.co.uk/product.php?cat=26" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - who stock elixir spares and have ordered a replacement today - they do other repair and replacement parts for the older skylights - if it fits my devon pop top - I will let you all know

yes (I actually got x2 so I have a spare !)

Its the correct one to replace the elixir skylight

From memory it was abut £40

They don't do orange - just dark smokey brown - smartens up the roof
