Hi all, we have a 2015 20.64-1 and just had the dredded "water coming in via the large lower fridge vent, from water draining off the slide out awning" issue.

Looking through old posts, appears that people retrofit a channel above the vent to stop the water coming in, and perhaps on later models Jayco have put something in place from the factory. Does anyone have photos of the factory fix for this? I can only find retrofits like this one (which are fine, but wanted to see if I can order in a Jayco part or similar).

I thought those vents were supposed to be better than the other style, I would use a length of sail track above it, you can get it in white and it would be a more suitable gutter and with rounded off ends wouldn't bite you if you brushed past, Fix with double sided tape with a small bead of silastic on the top edge, with a couple of small screws, prep the surface well and probably not need the screws using high quality tape.
