Hey Bob, while you're up there on the roof, check the condition of your refrigerator vent cover. Its the long rectangle looking thing just above where the fridge sets in your coach.
If your black tank vent is toast, the fridge vent may also need replacing. Most of them come off with only four screws holding them on. If it appears chalkey or is brittle, replace it. If a branch rubs it or you get some small hail it will be destroyed.
Just something else to check
Happy trails

Well there are two parts to that cover if it is the one I think it is, There is the upright portion which is fairly flexible (like rubber) it will take some glues (GOOP) well if you need to patch a crack, and the top part, held on by a single screw to the upright part.
I had to replace 2 of mine
I went to a local RV dealer and said "I need a new hat for my stink pipe" and he took me right to the CAMCO sewer parts display and handed me exactly what I needed.
It is a standard part. i'm surprised I've never seen one at Wall-mart but any RV place will have 'em.. Now the Camco one he gave me did not exactly fit, It has some metal fingers that go down inside the upright to hold it on, they would not fit, A simple pliar bend fixed that and the spot for the screww.. Worked as designed once I drove a screw through it.

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and options. I really like the concept of the new Siphon 360 but decided against it as odors have never been a problem. I am going with the originasl cap. That way I will not bw putting new holes in the roof, tiffen is sending me two. Thanks for your help.
