I ordered a flue cover from my friendly local rv parts dealer. The only
distributor that seemed to even know what it was is a company called DTI.
My rv parts dealer placed the order for me through DTI, finally got it
about 6 months later. DTI was backordered and had to get one from dometic
in Sweden. the thing ended up costing about 60 bucks and a whole lot of
trouble for me and my local dealer who said "I hope you don't lose this
because I will never order another one". Good luck with yours.
