Stove vent

How does everyone open and close the stove vent without a ladder. I have tried a stick, an awning rod. this is on a Fox 990 and the tabs drop down to where you cannot get anything in there to move them.

  • I have AF 990 use wooden rod with stiff wire bent in L at end works great. it is 1/2 wooden dowl 4 ft long.
  • I also have an arctic fox. I use the rear awning hook to manipulate the tabs. Works great for me and it's always in the camper anyway.

    I saved this link for that very reason, no ladder ever needed again!

  • I use my two stepper step stool to stand on when opening and closing the tabs on my vent and it works pretty good for me to reach up there and do that.
