Range Hood Exterior Wall Vent
I am in search of and wanting advice on how this simple outside vent is arranged on the outside wall of anyone's coach. To place it simply, do you have to manually open a flap/damper from the outside,...

There are variations.
On mine, it is just there, covered and screened with a flap under the cover. When the hood fan is turned on, the air pressure pushes the flap open. Under rare conditions, it might rattle while moving.
There are others that need to be unlatched, but it has been a while since I've seen one that has to be manually opened. Almost all are at least partially covered with respect to rain or water dripping down the side, and most I've seen are screened against large insects.
