No pilot..main flame is what gets lit by the spark electrode (click,click,click)

Air flow is being disrupted down along side of rig...not uncommon with design of TCs (truck cab/camper configuration)

Dometic does make an 'air foil kit'............Dometic 3108038.005


You could block off 5-6 inches of openings on the inside of lower vent......leading edge.


Example of a homemade 'air foil' guy did on his Bigfoot camper
