Smile plastic vent covers

I am in need of a new plastic vent cover for our 88 TM. Its size is 15 x 15
and I am finding it is very hard to find that size.
Does anyone know of a supplier for that size?

Well, for anyone who needs and is looking for just the plastic vent cover for their older TM. I have some bad news, you will not find it...the factory burnt down about 7 years ago..oh, well, we will have to rip out the old vent and install a new one, thank goodness the hole is the same size according to Ed at trailmanor (great guy) so now I can go to any RV parts store and get it...
And then its on to Panama city Beach in two weeks...
Happy Trailmanoring to all..

The plastic cover was never on our '94 2518. The previous owner rigged up some plastic and duct tape, it works but its time to fix it the proper way.

After looking at some pictures of what is there my local RV shop said the hinge looked like a 'new style elixir' cover. Before I waste my Sunday afternoon trying to install this thing, does anyone know if that is the style TM used in 1994?

That was the key phrase! So it must have been around 2002 that TM changed to a 'standard' roof vent. Well, the new cover fit the hinge and does cover the metal opening, but it wouldn't neatly attach to the arm that raises and lowers the cover. I got a nut & bolt through but it dosen't work too well. Since we most always camp near the beach (can you say hot!) we have full hookups and keep the vent closed, so we zip tied the two pieces of metal to hold it tightly closed.

Now its off to the beach for the 4th!
