Splendide 2100XC not drying
I have a Splendide 2199XC in my 5th wheel. It doesn't dry very well. Then when you reset it to additional dry time it runs for a few minutes then goes into a the pre wash, low rinse and on off lights ...

2nd the recommendation to call Splendide...they are very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. I found there customer support to be top notch.
It does sound like your vent exhaust is clogged. Here's the info I received from Splendide:
While your working on the back of the unit I recommend cleaning out the dryer hose as it will eventually clog with lint. We do the vinegar once a month and remove the rubber flexible exhaust duct twice a year when we are living in our coach full time and using the Splendide almost daily.

Clearing lint from Splendide’s Interior Duct
1. Run the unit without clothes and with the dry time off on cycle # 11.
2. When the water stops entering the unit push and hold the start button until all the lights come on then release the button.
3. Next, move the cycle knob to cycle # 2 and press the start button once (do not hold).
4. Let it run through that complete cycle.
5. Do this twice.
If in frequent use, do this once each month to avoid buildup.
If the above treatment fails, try it again, adding a cup of white vinegar to break down the deposited soap and fabric softener.
FALL BACK PROCEDURE IF THE ABOVE PROCEDURE FAILS
1. Pull the unit out and remove flexible exhaust duct.
2. Pick out as much lint as you can from the air outlet on the back of the dryer.
3. Put a garden hose in the outlet and blow the blockage into the washer.
4. Run the washer on a short cycle. The blockage breaks up and goes out the drain.
