Hi Patti,
Several people have sent photos which seem to contradict each other, however
we all agree that the vent itself is quite small and has two openings. The
small vent that I am talking about is screwed onto a large piece of flat
aluminum and screwed on the side of the trailer. The furnace appears to be
the original Suburban. When I removed this rather crude looking cover, I
discovered that the furnace needs to slide out for servicing. Some of the
trailers that only have the small vent with no large cover probably get
serviced from the inside of the trailer. I guess my question is still, is
this cover a "bodge job" by some previous owner? The perimeter joint was
covered with silicone which added to the crude appearance.
