    I had a Venturi Vent years ago, and thought it was a great way to get air in, instead of just exhausting it out. Here in Florida when it gets hot, my 67 turns into a Sauna.
    So, I've got a VenturiVent Cover, just the tinted plastic cover, not the frame or mechanism. So my plan is to get a standard 14" roof vent and swap out the top covers. If I remember correctly: by turning the handle one way it would hinge in the front and open like a regular vent, and turn it the other way and the lid would close and the front magic door would open. Does anyone have a picture, diagram, or discription of how this mechanism worked?

    Also, I haven't touched a roof vent (no RV dealers here have them in stock) so also need to know what roof-vents will accept the VenturiVent extruded hinge...

    I have used that vent,,,,the rear is raised by a crank and the front of it has a door on it with another crank that folds down like a tailgate to let air in. Right now I got a vent with an electric fan inside it,,,,,,,you can put pop out windows in for more air,,,,,,,but by far, the sunroof keeps you the coolest pulling air in from the windows, vent windows and front vent,,,,,,,

    Venturi-Vents are no longer manufactured as of about 3 years ago.
