Have an issue with the bathroom exhaust fan on our 337RLS. We do have an additional cover on the roof for this fan. It is the original fan with a manual on/off switch and the open/close knob. Lately we have noticed that while in transit, especially over rough roads (typical in our lovely PA) the original fan cover tends to open up. Not a serious issue since we have the added-on cover, but not sure why this is happening or what the "fix" is for it. Has anyone experienced a similar issue and is there a simple inexpensive fix?

the threads on the drive screw the opens/closes the cover are very course which leaves them subject to vibrations loosening them. Have you tried putting just a little extra tension on the knob when in the fully closed position to see if that keeps it from opening in transit?Jeff and Debbie

Mine has the same issue. Twice now after arriving home, noticed the vent open. First time I blamed my DW but yesterday she specifically said she shut it. So I guess this confirms I can't keep blaming her. 😛
I'll have to figure out a solution. Maybe a baby bungee thru the know to the frame somehow.Terry and Patty (Dogs-Sophie and Tessa)

I have outside vent covers so I always travel with the vents open to help expel any heat building up in the trailer. Basically I leave the vents open all the time weather in storage (back yard) or while camping unless I have the A/C going.Charles and Susan

Thanks for all of the feedback. I plan to try tightening the screw first. If not successful I will move on to the rubber band and if still needed, the bungee cord fix as shown in Terry's photo. I'll keep you posted as to what finally works for us.Mark & Ellen
