I'm interested in any tips from anyone that might have have already removed their AC unit off the roof what vent or dome that they would have used in its place. I have a 2010 RP177 for reference.

We special ordered ours back in January 2011 w/o the A/C unit, something we have not regretted; normally boondock and camp in the colder months or in the Rockies. Anyway the dealer installed a basic roof vent that opens manually like the fantastic fan. Works for us and lets a lot of additional light inside.

I removed mine and replaced it with a regular roof vent. I searched and found the info I needed when I did mine. You need to put in a simple thermostat to run the furnace

Here are two links to help you.
