2013 Solara stove vent opening

[BatteryBill]

New to the Solara and having difficulty opening the outside flap on the vent. These things look fragile and I don’t want the break it. Any help?

[JLeising]

You have to push up and out on the two tabs. They are stiff. Mine hasn’t broken (yet).
In truth, the vent fan is quite weak - doesn’t do much - and is pretty inconvenient (high reach on the side of the MH to open or close). I usually just leave the vent closed and turn on the fantastic fan to vent while cooking.

Thanks for help. Will probably use that fantastic fan. Much quieter too.

I too, found it difficult to open/close so I leave it open all the time. It will on occasion rattle a bit when traveling down the highway in strong winds, but otherwise I have not had any problems leaving it open

I leave it open and use a cut piece of sponge to keep the door from rattling when traveling.
