Overview
The Westland VID403AC is a dryer vent kit built for RV dryer installations, pairing a chrome-finish exterior vent cover with flexible metallic ducting and worm-driven hose clamps. It provides the exterior vent point needed to run an RV clothes dryer outside.
This is a vent kit, not a dryer itself, and its job is the exterior cap plus the ducting connecting an RV dryer to that opening. The included flex hose runs short; several buyers needed to add extra ducting from a hardware store to reach their installation, especially when the dryer sits further from the exterior wall. One buyer's chrome-cover unit arrived as black plastic instead of the illustrated chrome finish, worth checking on delivery before installing it.
- Chrome-finish exterior vent cover for RV installs
- Flexible metallic ducting with worm-driven clamps
- Includes flap and insect seal
- Also available in a paintable white finish
Who it's for
Works for an RV owner installing or replacing an exterior dryer vent who is willing to add hose length locally if needed. Not the choice for someone who wants an all-metal cover, since some units ship in black plastic despite chrome photos.
Pros and cons
- Straightforward install with worm-driven clamps
- Chrome-finish cover looks clean on an RV exterior
- Ships quickly according to multiple buyers
- Included flex hose is short for many installations
- Some units ship as black plastic instead of chrome
- Flap door detached after limited use for one buyer
Performance notes
Installation is straightforward for most buyers, with the worm-driven clamps securing the ducting to the vent cover without special tools. The main limitation reported is hose length: the included flex ducting is short enough that several buyers needed additional hose to reach their dryer, particularly when it had to be attached before the appliance was slid into place. One buyer's flap door detached after two trips, pointing to some variability in how durable the plastic components hold up under vibration.
