Exhaust vent upgrade for stove/oven
Being unhappy with most exhaust vents on RVs that you have to unlock the plastic damper from the outside when you get to your campsite and remember to lock it when traveling I designed an easy fix.
I replaced the plastic damper in the wall cap with one I fabricated out of stainless steel with a bracket to connect a control wire
Next I bought a lawn mower throttle control and fabricated a bracket to support this in my exhaust hood and mounted it to the right of the fan housing
The control wire from the throttle loops around the hood and connects to the stainless steel damper because I Iooped it around inside the hood I didn't need to cut the length of control wire
I did have to fabricate one more bracket to hold the control wire outer covering next to the stainless steel damper so the system would work just like a lawn mower throttle
I did have to remove the hood and wall cap to do this mod
Now I can operate the outside damper from inside the trailer
