Curved rod from Amazon

We installed that curtain in our 2017 5.0 and to worked very well. I would post more pictures, but we sold the trailer. Maybe the current owner could pipe in with how well it has stood up.

Not difficult.

If you close the vent, you should see a little screw at each end of the handle. Remove the screws and the handle to get a clear path to the screen. then, if you're as lazy as me, shove a vacuum...

Oops!

Hello Myron,
Same thing happened to our 5.0 at the farm where it was stored. It's not a very difficult job to replace the window yourself if you're doing frame and all. Unfortunately for us, ETI...

Hi LeonW,

Two questions;
Do you know the model number of the microwave, and, did you need to trim the opening to fit it in??
