Unless you are leaving it wide open in a torrential downpour, you should not get so much rain inside that you need to resort to leaving the gray water valve open to drain onto the ground. Doug said he leaves his open an inch. That would not allow much rain at all to come in.

I also would like to get a cover, but so far, we have not had a problem. We get more water splashing from the sink than we get from the vent.

Ok, until I can find a roof cover, I will let me the rain come in.  I will also l leave the cap off the grey water tank with the valve open to drain the rainwater to the ground.  Shower curtain extended all around the bath door.

I left the vent open an inch when we weren't using it, no cover.  The little bit of rain that came in wasn't a big deal since it was in the bathroom.

I have a R178, 2016 model.  When in storage, I want to leave the fan cover open to let out all the hot air

I want a cover for the fan so rain cannot get in.  Seems like the tv antenna gets in the way.  Any suggestions?

Just bought a RPOD 178, I asked my he dealer to install a cover over my fantastic fan, I just wanted to leave the lid to my fan open and not get in rain.. The dealer had two types of covers, both would not fit!  
Now what?  They said the cover would hit the TV antenna!

Just make sure you check Google Maps/Google Earth periodically to make sure you're not flashing the entire internet world. Star
