Need to replace the rubber seals along both sides of my 2016 RPod 180. Has anyone done this and what was the width of the seal you used?
Also, hail such up on my town of Pampa, TX today and broke my exhaust fan cover on the roof. Anyone know where I could get another one by chance?
Any info is much appreciated.

Check with camping world I think they have the seal by the role.  Easy to replace.  Seems to me one has to start at the front and work back?

Are you referring to the vinyl strip that covers the screws on the metal piece where the sidewall meets the roof?
This works well and is cheap enough to replace every couple of years (Mine had cracks along its length so it was time):

There's a right way and a wrong way to install. Slip the end of the vinyl under the bracket at the front of the trailer far enough up that you can drive the lowest bracket screw through it, then bend it 180 degrees around the bracket and snap it in, working from front to back. At the rear there's a metal piece that screws on to cover the rear end of the vinyl.

Some people have reported replacing all of the screws holding on the metal bracket; I didn't do that.

or are you talking about the D-shaped bulb seal that goes around the slide-out?
