Jon,
Are you talking flue vent or vent cover?
The cover is only about $10.00 from Bus Depot (see web site/postings on the
list) or Euro-American (below).
A flue vent will be a little more expensive:
The cheapest might be if you can find it in a junk yard.
Next would be to look in your phone book for a Dometic dealer. They should
be able to sell you the part. If you can't find one there you can call AAA
RV Appliance at 916-929-9777 in Californina. They are a Dometic Service
Center and will ship the part to you in exchange for your credit card
number.
You could also try Euro-American RV Products: 818-760-4214
Good Luck
