GlennWest Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Mine after all these years finally broke. See no way for rain to blow in there. Critters maybe? Sure don't hear it flapping when wind comes up anymore. Replace or not?

RV_ Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Replace, critters. The new one will also have one or two little lever/s that lock it from outside so it does not flap and break: Edited January 17, 2022 by RV_ Quote RV/Derekhttp://www.rvroadie.com Email on the bottom of my website page.Retired AF 1971-1998 When you see a worthy man, endeavor to emulate him.

Kirk W Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 If you check on Amazon they have several different ones available. Several of them can be locked closed if you wish.

Of course you don't lock it when parked and using it. I had to replace ours when we were new RVrs because I did not realize they were there to be locked until it broke. I replaced mine and remembered to add that to my mental pre-departure checklist.

GlennWest Posted January 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 I have to get on a ladder to lock mine. Probably won't get locked.

Star Dreamer Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Our old trailer, I replaced that item I think twice before I just taped it shut. Our house range vent did not vent to outside and we rarely even turned ours on in the trailer. In our new trailer, the microwave over the range has a fan on it and it is the same as the house and just vents it back into the kitchen at the top of the microwave towards the ceiling. There is no outside vent. If it breaks again, try just taping it shut.

Our kitchen exhaust hood does exhaust outside and we prefer it to do so since that exhausts much of the moisture from cooking outside. Doing so helps to avoid condensation inside.
