Default Exhaust vent mod

Got the exhaust vent modified to lock open or close with a lawn mower throttle
Made the damper out of stainless steel , the brackets out of 20 gauge sheet metal and a lawn mower throttle from Home Depot
Don't have use the plastic tabs to lock down the damper while towing

Also in the garage, some stuff to pull it:
1999 3/4 ton 'Burb
1993 Roadmaster wagon (well, it probably won't pull it)

Default Very nice work

Dh is a retired sheet Metal fabricator. You could make up some HiLo parts to make $ in your retirement years. Some on the Airstream forum make up parts for sale.
