Broken Fan Casing

   Thank you for the feedback on this issue. Apologies for the late replies. I did get confirmation this solely cosmetic and doesn't impact water leaking through the top. 
Can I assume that replacing this is as easy as unscrewing the pieces and putting a new trim piece in? Or does it require actually removing more than that? I would check myself except we don't store the pod at home so I don't have quick access. 

Thanks again in advance for any help here.

	I have an all-weather cover on mine from CAMCO, I believe. I can leave vent open and it is not affected by wind or rain.

	Call Fantastic Breeze. Their customer service is top notch. And no, you shouldn't have any moisture issues because of that.

	Hi folks. I had my first wind incident. At least I believe that is what happened as I am not sure what else would have caused it. Before we started our last trip the inside of the vent fan looked fine. Near the end I looked up and realized I have two cracks on the inside of the casing. See photos. We had some really strong wind gusts and for the first few hours I left the vent cover pretty open plus it was in the direction for the wind to push up under it, not over it. Anyway, I will eventually look to get it fixed and I assume it's only cosmetic and not an issue if I left it this way as far as potential moisture or rain water coming in though it. Is that a correct assumption regarding water coming in? If you are reading this and haven't had this issue yet take this as a reminder to batten down the hatches as soon as the wind goes anything past light breezes.
