Looking for a more robust kitchen vent

it has to be bad luck

my trailer and vent flap is from 2005...

I am looking for a replacement.. its badly yellowed.

My current camper doesn't even have a stove vent to the outside. No biggie though, we never cook inside the camper either.

Our previous 2 campers had outside vents with the plastic catch. Never had a problem with either, except remember to close it and clip it shut.

Maybe when traveling, stick a piece of duct tape over it so it won't flop in the wind.

X2 ... I've never had to replace any stove vent. But then I've never had anywhere near the issues with the various trailers we've owned that so many here on the forums seem to report. Just lucky maybe? :W

Is the type of kitchen vent that you have the kind with little plastic pins at the top and closed with tiny plastic levers at each bottom corner? That was the kind on our old trailer.

Our current trailer has a kitchen vent like this one. It has a cover over it at all times that is open at the bottom. The vent "flap" closes with two press to close catches at the bottom. It is much more sturdy than the old kind. And with the cover over it, I don't think it would flap itself to death when traveling if you forget to latch it closed.

(dup sorry)

I know the feeling. Mine is directly in the middle of a step in my roof ladder. I broke mine twice getting to roof with my big foot. And current one has a clothes pin to keep it shut:) At the time I found link below. But not sure if it would be a easy swap out of not and price is crazy. Wish someone would post that has good fix. In mean time and not sure if it would fit.

Wonder if above poster has a pic of the one he made? Sounds like good idea.

I replaced my plastic cover with an aluminum one I fashioned out of aluminum sheet goods. It is going on year five and looks like the day I painted it.
