Hengs | Skylight - Emergency Escape Hatch | 48621-C2 | Manual Open | Metal Frame | Aluminum Screen | Plastic Lid | White
The Hengs 48621-C2 is a dual-purpose roof-mounted skylight and emergency exit hatch designed for RVs, travel trailers, campers, and similar mobile structures. This unit provides code-compliant emergency egress while also functioning as a ventilation skylight, allowing natural light and airflow into the interior.
Constructed with a heavy-duty extruded aluminum frame, the hatch ensures structural rigidity and long-term durability under road vibration and environmental exposure. The integrated opaque white plastic lid offers weather resistance and diffused daylight, while the fine aluminum insect screen maintains airflow without allowing debris or pests to enter.
The hatch operates via a manual crank/hinged opening system, enabling controlled ventilation during normal use and rapid full opening for emergency escape. A quick-release screen mechanism allows immediate exit when needed, meeting typical RV safety requirements.
Designed for standard RV roof openings, the 48621-C2 installs easily using an exterior flange and includes an interior garnish trim for a clean, finished appearance.
