Post by: mempersman on February 03, 2003, 07:25:00 PM
Can anyone tell me who manufactures the front most mounted escape hatch/vent combo( measures approx. 14.5x 21.5) on a 79 Clipper. I am in need of the lid and don't know where to get one. Thank You.......

It's a pretty standard size and can be found at most RV Supply/Hardware stores.  When I had to get mine replaced, I just removed it from my Clipper and took it with me.

Don't forget to get the sealing putty tape stuff to keep the new one from leaking when you put it in.

I was just at Camping world in Wilsonville, Ore. yesterday; & they don't carry any part of the escape hatch unless specially ordered.  They suggested that I try G.I. Joe's or Sears.  I, also, need to replace the cover to my escape hatch & was going to write to ask if the club carries it in the supply trailer.   Also, I need to replace the top right hand side (not front) orange plastic light cover on the upper part of the RV.  Mine was shattered & can't really take it w/me, so do you carry it; or is it a universal size?  Thx .   Sally Ann healy

P.S.  I already got the putty for sealer from High School Phy.in Battle Ground, Wa.  It comes on a strip, & the Ace Hardware Mgr. said it's really good stuff.  SAH

If your lid is 13 x 22 inches, it's available from the club at $36 plus shipping. Check the parts list in your newsletter. That's where I got mine.
