360 Siphon RV Fume Extractor - White

Great product! I need one more for gray water vent. The installation was easy. You need a mesure tape, screwdriver, exactoknife, small saw, sealant and vaseline possibly. cation: when dryfit a the white core? in, don't push to hard. If it too tight, take it out and smear some vaseline and fit it again otherwise it might crack like mine did!

This thing actually works as advertised. Who'd a thunk it? I was a little nervous about cutting the existing vent pipe off 1/2" above the roof, but, by laying a 1/2" block of plywood next to the pipe and using that to guide a reciprocating saw -- I was able to get a square cut. I would not attempt this just by marking the pipe with a sharpie or something similar. The way this device is designed, the cut has to be pretty accurate to work properly. The hardest part was removing the old one. I used a Multi-tool because a simple putty knife was not up to the job. The original vent was installed w metal screws. Using the multi-tool with a metal cutting blade took care of the screws, but melted the sealant, and made quite a mess. This was a bigger job than indicated in a promotional video. Be prepared to throw away the blade after cutting through the screws and the original sealant unless you want to spend a lot of the remaining days of your life cleaning a $6 blade. The included "sealant tape" did not work well for me -- so I used a tubed silicone sealant instead -- put a layer on the roof, used new screws to secure the device to the roof, and, then covered the entire flange, screws and all, with another layer of sealant. It is worthy to note that I keep my Coach in a fully enclosed metal storage bay, and, previous to the installation of this device -- after being away for a few days, I was bothered by sewage odor. Amazingly, this device works well even when the Coach is stored in this bay where the ambient air is very still. My Coach Exhibited three identical Vent caps. I gained confidence in the process after replacing the first one so proceeded to the second one which turned out to be a cover for some 12v wiring. Bummer -- the same mess and ruined blade! Replaced that one w a cheaper cap. The third one went smoothly following the then proven procedures, and, the results are truly amazing, and, worth the effort.

This vent is fairly easy for a couple of novices to install although we were not 100% sure where the putty was supposed to go. The install was made even easier because the existing vent stack we have was short enough already that we didn't have to shorten it down to place the insert in it. The insert was a snug fit and the whole assembly seems to be working well. It didn't require the same number of screws as the original vent cover. We also used some self leveling Dicor over the old screw holes and sealed around the whole base of the unit as well. We test drove with stuff in the tanks and where before we'd get gassed out is now a pleasant ride.

Bought 3 of these for two different RV units. These solved any odor problems almost immediately. One of the RV's was a stationary weekend use trailer parked by the water that got "pumped" once a month. Usually by the middle of the month the odors started to permeate no matter what type of black tank deodorizer we used. The day we installed this the odors were gone. Never had an odor problem after that. Put 2 on my motor coach (black and grey water vents) and couldn't be happier..

This is designed to work with a 1 1/2" vent pipe. if you have an 1 1/4" vent pipe like I do it will not fit per the instructions out of the box. I had to cut the flange part off the insert piece and glue it to my existing vent with a high-strength glue. With that being said, I'm happy with the product it just took me a lot longer to install than most people. They could easily bundle this with the correct flange piece for the smaller pipe as well and have a perfect product.

We have an older (1996 class C) rv and from time to time would have gray or black smells. We had odors inside when I started the install and I couldn't smell anything after I was done. I'm very happy with the siphon. My pipes where black and roughly the same size as the adapter. I used two pieces of pvc and wrapped the rv pipe and the cut down adapter with electrical tape to create a tight seal. The whole process took about 1 hour for both. I even tried just holding the toilet valve open and I still couldn't smell anything. .....hard to believe.

I was using the spinner type vents which worked fine, had no odor problems but a few weeks ago in strong winds one of the spinners broke off and went missing. I replaced it with one of the 360 products. The first time we went down the road we had a serious odor problem. I have checked the p traps and toilet seal so I believe the 360 vent is not working. I will replace it with another spinner and see if that resolves the problem. The only factor that may have been part of the problem is that the 360 is mounted directly behind a fantastic fan cover...so maybe that is the issue?? I will try to report back when I install a new spinner.

Tried using no black tank chemicals after installing this new vent. Never got any bad odors at all. Seems to vent far better than the standard factory unit. The one I received was a new version and had a different mounting flange. It required no screws to anchor. I reached out to the seller who was awesome at replying to me and informing me the unit i received was the new style and how it should be installed. Very easy install. just used dicor to seal and adhere to roof.
