Aaron, I have been busy coating everything with 303 including the fiberglass. The plastic flange around the window in the bathroom is one you should keep an eye out for, the toilet paper holder, the toilet and even the plastic on the jacks. They will all turn yellow over time. Even the skylight in the bathroom needs attention so it will always stay clear as eventually it will become blurred out. That fan vent is a huge pain to get open. I can't reach it from the ground and had to open the galley window and could only reach one tab. I just use the fantastic fan in the cabover to suck out the air when cooking. I would replace the vent if you want something easier to get open, otherwise just paint it. I find it hard to believe you wax or some other chemical will get the yellow out. On my 2012 WC it turned yellow and while buffing the sides my buffer hit the thing and shattered it.
303 is the bomb
You don't want this turning yellow
Good luck

Hey, Nolan.
Thanks for the tip on coating everything in the bathroom. I forgot about the skylight trim. It's almost beginning turn. I got some reflectix foil insulation and cut it to fit the sky light and all the windows in the camper. Put a black Camco Aeroflow vent cover over the F Fan. Doing all this cut down tremendously on heat and sunlight getting in. Now I just leave the F Fan open all the time.
Yeah, that vent is a PITA. I hate it. It flutters, rattles and makes all sorts of percussion. LoL. And now, it just looks ugly to boot. We were doing the same thing when cooking. flick on the F Fan and let do it's thing. Several times, in the mornings, when boiling water or cooking anything with a lot of moisture, I noticed condensation gathering in the corner/ceiling of the cabover. Probably not a good thing to do repeatedly.
Any way...
Amazon has the replacement vent for $8.99. I think I'll just buy a new one, hit it and everything else with 303.
I found a post where someone said that they pull the screen in the range hood and shove a plastic bag in there to keep the wind turbulence down. Seems logical.
Off Topic... Did you ever get your weight situation figured out?
