I also leave at least one or two of the vents open under the vent covers at least a little bit while stored.
The only downside I've found to vent covers is that it's harder to clean out the pine needles and other little bits of debris that somehow still manage to find their way onto the screens of the vents. I would not want to be without the covers; they ought to be standard equipment in my opinion.
The Maxair that I installed is hinged along the side. When its closed its held shut by to cotter pins. Makes it nice for cleaning the area under the cover. My screen to the vent itself, removes from the inside of the TT. another bonus.
My vent covers are not so conveniently attached; I have to remove four nuts (with a wrench) to pull them off. The cotter arrangement sounds very well thought out.
My screens are removable from the inside, but only after removing the trim ring (four screws) and the vent crank handle (another screw) and the screws holding the screen on (two more screws). It's somewhat of a toss-up which is easier. Still, I would not want to be without the covers; they're worth any aggravation they cause many times over.
