Our take on the Camco 45196 Vent Insulator

The Camco 45196 is a 14-inch square insert that plugs into a standard RV roof vent to cut heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. It stacks a reflective layer, a foam insulating layer and a synthetic fleece backing, with about 2-3/4 inches of foam. A removable cover lets you pull it out when you want the vent open. At $12.99 at Panther RV Products as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, with 6 stores pricing it new.
