If the damper is there, it may just be jammed against the vent. Other wise, the plastic pins have broken and you will need to replace it.

Not sure about a damper. I do have a locking vent cover. I will try to get a picture this after noon.

I gained a drip from the AC last week. I am going to check the drain pan if I can find it...

The cover flap is basically your damper. Just have to remember to open it BEFORE the stuff starts to burn... don't ask me how I know!

OK, mine looks the same. I must have missed it as I know the tabs that hold it closed are there. I have left it open for the past year without ever closing it. Not sure why that didn't seem odd to me. I will drive out to the camper tonight and look for it.

I just assumed they put the cheapest part on there and it would be up to me to upgrade if I wanted.
There is a damper in there, I have a 2016 192 I just got about 6 weeks ago and have had it out for about 30 days already. The damper broke the second week and fell out, I just happened to notice it on the ground one day. Just 2 little pivot points hold it in. I'll grab a picture tomorrow.

Hey I have the same trailer. I too replaced all the lights with LED. I got a bunch from Amazon (EBAY hates me). They light up the trailer very well, much better than the regular bulbs, and use less than a 1/3rd of the energy. I also replaced all the running lights with LED, the tail brake turn lights though are standard, for now.

We had our first outing in it this past weekend and it was enjoyable, everything worked and it was quite comfortable. I went to Menards and got a 3" memory foam top for the short queen, along with a quilted top for it, sheets and pillows from Walmart and the queen in the front is more comfortable then my regular California King. Very surprised at the size of the bunks, they are 4' by 6', perfect size for us, neither of my kids will out grow them, we tend to be short in my family. My only gripe is a lack of ladder for the bunk, its tough to get up and down from there with them being next to the bathroom. Other than that, an errant leak under the kitchen sink, might be the faucet, wont know until I can see it leaking, and adding some counter space to the right of the sink, the trailer is all ready for our big trip next month. We are excited about going after this weekend.

This is what made the long 3 day drive worth every mile.

Wicked cool.

Yep, that's why they build tinyhouses with wheels.

Looks much like Bryce Canyon, Utah. Loved it.

Yes that picture is Bryce N.P. in SW Utah. Been there many of times. Zion 2/3 hour drive & north rim of the Grand Canyon 4/5 hours are easy drive & well worth it.
Forgot Canyonlands N.P. a 3/4 hours drive from Bryce.

Just bought a 2015 Coleman 192RDS. Took it out this past weekend and had a great time. The floorplan is great for my wife, myself and 2 dogs. So far so good.

The layout is quite good on the 192 RDS. We added a small TV above the table and hung a few things on the wall. So far so good. The only real drawback is the bed that can only be exited from one side. Little things though. Its better than tent camping for sure.(Don't tell my wife but I kind of miss the tent camping!)

That single side access bed could be a benefit, just as easily as a drawback. Camping is a great time to re-kindle...........
