I kind of like the the one that doesn't open/close. Would probably put some screen behins it when installing to keep the insects out and then change that out every couple of years (greasing up you know). No moving parts, nothing to break.
I forgot to add that after the very windy night, I gave my husband two little rubber "dots", that you put on the bottom of vases and such so as not to scratch your furniture. He put them on the vent outside and now it's very quiet, even in the wind. We think we can still lock it for traveling. Haven't tried that yet.

Here's the link I mentioned about the fenders. Sorry, but it's another forum.

My 2011 Landmark has the Amana convection microwave with integrated fan. It vents out the top of the microwave; it does not vent outside the unit. I leave the outside flapper locked down all the time.
When I first got the Landmark, there was no flow to the outside vent (flapper never moved no matter what the fan speed). Upon closer inspection (up on a ladder), I found no flow to the outside and all flow just recirculating from the bottom of the convection microwave to the top.
I just replaced my Dometic convection/microwave only to find that the exhaust fan was not properly installed to vent fumes to the outside.
It is like your Amana venting to the top of the unit.The new LG microwave I installed required the fan unit to be rotated 180 degrees to enable
outside ventalation and I think the installers of our Dometic missed this step during the installation.
I am off track with this thread but thought it may be worth mentioning.

Jim,
Photos are not working for me. Is it just me?
No photos
in response to the improved microwave flap. we will look at seeing what we can do. Thanks for all the input.
