David,
My problem with the vent hose is its got mildue in it. I cant get it clean,
Don't want to remove the
wall panel...so I'm going to run a vent back to
the fill cap. I will run the hose up the wall
behind the paneling on the outside frame if
I can find a route without having to drill the
frame. Maybe up by the window. Plenty of room
between the window frame and wall frame.
