propane venting
noticed in the propane compartment there are 2 holes in bottom. also at top side is a 2" vent tube that goes about 28" to an outside vent at front of 5th. do I need a top vent with the 2 at bottom.

Propane is heavier than air, and will always fall to the lowest point, additional venting at the top is unnecessary.
Not completely true.
Unless the bottom hole is VERY large, there needs to be an inlet somewhere to improve the flow.
Having it fall to the bottom of the enclosure and then stay there does no good.
For the propane to flow out, replacement air needs to flow IN somewhere.
