Living Room/Kitchen Auto Vent

Can anyone tell me why the automatic vent will work for about 2 minutes and then closes itself? Any fixes?


My camper is a Jayco 2021 Pinnacle 36SSWS




Thanks.


Julie

Welcome to the Forum from Western New York State!

Not knowing the brand or model of your vent, I can only take a guess at a few possibilities.
1) It has a rain sensor that will shut it off and close the lid when it senses water.
2) It's thermostatically controlled, and the thermostat needs to be adjusted.
3) It has a bad switch.
4) bad printed circuit board.

Perhaps someone that has had the same situation will chime in with some other thoughts. Perhaps a phone call to the manufacturer's tech people might point to the reason.

Power Vent

The vent is a Maxxair/airexcel. I have contacted the manufacturer.


If I open the only the vent it will stay open. If the vent is open and I turn on the fan portion, it immediately closes. It does have the rain detector and will close, but we have not had any rain.


Thanks for your response.
