Devon Conversion replacement/ Elixir "old style" roof vents

Hi

Posted about this a week ago - update........

Recieved and fitted replacement skylight for my 1982 Devon - £25 from a company called ABP Accessories.

They specialise in american motorhomes but stock replacement for elixir roof vents - good service and very helpful over the phone/e mail

Find them on google

Saves buying a complete new "glossy brilliant white" fiamma unit and taking a jig saw to the roof to accommodate the larger hole required just because the vent is cracked or discoloured - as all I have seen seem to be (except mine now !!!)

hope this helps someone

Matt - very helpful post, may assist with our skylight woes as well.

Any chance of a link to the right product - can't find it on the webiste and it's the weekend you see. Any tips on the fitting process or even a photo or two?

Thanks again - I've searched for ages for the right thing and have (temporarily?) resorted to gaffa tape!

Your comments on fitting still appreciated, if possible.

Fitting is A doddle !

All makes sense when you get the replacement.... just unscrew the winder mechanisim from inside the arm slides out of the raiser runner - 2 screws either end of the hinge and slide the unit off...

Really chuffed with finding the replacement -

Any furthur questions dont hesitate to ask
