Was looking at some of my round-to-its before putting the RV to bed for the winter. On our last outing the stove vent fan did not seem to be working properly (bacon and sausage smoked up the trailer)
So today while trying to change the smoke detector battery's (note to self - storing dead ones to replace chirping ones is not good )
So I took a look at it. I removed the dinky fire screen and turned on the fan expecting to see the vent flap open - NOT. It barely moved. So I went outside to see if it was blocked. No blockage but I could get it to open maybe 1/4 inch with my finger before it hit the cover somewhere. Before I pull the outside cover to check I thought I would ask if someone has had this issue before?
Could others check how far open the vent flap moves on theirs? I'm wondering how far it should open. Megan I tagged you in case you might know? Also the flap appears to have a bow in it - should it have?

I can try and get a picture if that would help?
