Vintage Camper – Updating the Roof Vent Screens

By Amy

Updating the Roof Vent Screens in our Vintage Camper

The roof vents in our 1986 Avion camper still work great,

but they looked AWFUL!

They had water stains and mildew and who knows what else going on.

Vent screens before

They either needed to be replaced or updated.

We decided to try updating –

we like to keep things close to original when it is practical to do so.

Here’s how we did it:

Painting the roof vent screens from a vintage camper:

First, we took the screens off

and gave them a good scrubbing

with some dish soap and a soft brush.

Washed screens

After they were rinsed and thoroughly dried,

we started painting.

We used Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Multi Purpose Spray Paint in Ivory.

We chose this particular paint because it is made for plastics,

included the primer, and had a good color for our camper.

Painted used on screens

We gave the screens a couple of thin layers of paint.

Painted screen

The knobs also got several thin coats of spray paint.

Painting the knobs

After they had thoroughly dried, we re-installed the screens in the camper.

Roof Vents after

It made the camper look so fresh and clean

and it was a relatively easy fix!

Blessings~
