Identify RV absorption-refrigerator roof-vent caps, bases and complete kits from Dometic, Camco and Norcold. A cap is the exterior weather cover; a base is the roof-mounted opening; a complete kit contains both. Do not assume that similarly shaped caps and bases from different generations or brands interchange.

Manufacturer venting diagrams and part references

Use Dometic's refrigerator vent installation manual for the factory cross-section and enclosure requirements. Its drawings show the lower intake, cooling-unit air passage, upper exhaust and roof mounting; the manual requires correct combustion-air isolation and unobstructed airflow.

Dometic's historic parts catalog (refrigerator vent section) differentiates complete kits 3311236.000/.024, bases 3312694.007/.023, and caps 3312695.004/.020. Camco's manufacturer ventilation catalog identifies 42160/42161 (white) and 42163/42164 (black) as cover/base families.

Airflow and parts-location reference

1 · Lower sidewall intake

Fresh air enters the lower vent at the rear of the absorption refrigerator. This is not the same item as the roof cap.

2 · Cooling-unit passage

Air flows upward over the cooling coils and flue area. Cabinet baffles and clearances must follow the refrigerator model instructions.

3 · Roof vent base

Mounted and sealed at the roof penetration. Match the original flange, opening and cap-retaining pattern before replacement.

4 · Upper weather cap

Protects the upper outlet while allowing exhaust airflow. Confirm cap-to-base attachment and the original vent generation.

Parts matching matrix — by manufacturer and colour

Dometic low-profile family

Polar white: kit 3311236.000, base 3312694.007, cap 3312695.004.

Black: kit 3311236.024, base 3312694.023, cap 3312695.020.

Camco vent family

White: cover 42160 + base 42161.

Black: cover 42163 + base 42164.

Camco advertises some cross-brand use, but check the actual installed base and its mounting before relying on that claim.

Norcold bases

50603 (bright white) and 50698 (black) are separate Norcold items. No Dometic or Camco cap has been certified as a match to either base in this reference.

Dimensions need confirmation

Roof cutout requirements can differ by Dometic vent-base generation, so do not assume a universal opening size. Check your refrigerator installation manual, original vent base and measured roof opening. Older bases may also require replacement when fitting a newer cap.

Installation safety and related guides

A gas absorption refrigerator requires the specified upper exhaust and lower intake. Incorrect clearances, blocked venting or a poorly sealed combustion enclosure can reduce cooling and create serious exhaust-gas hazards. Follow the refrigerator maker's certified venting requirements and have uncertain alterations inspected by an RV technician. These parts photos are identification aids, not a scaled installation diagram.

For lower intake and upper sidewall exhaust grilles, see the refrigerator sidewall vent size guide. For insect screens and fan-part verification, see the vent screens and cooling fan parts reference. For sealing the roof flange rather than vent hardware, see the roof flange and termination sealing guide. For a powered ceiling fan or standard roof vent, see the Fan-Tastic Vent guide.
