Hi Maggie.

I'm fairly new to Westies. I too didn't know about the
flue vent cover.

The flue vent cover is an extra piece that you cover
flue with when van is stored or unused for any length
of time. I have seen, online, homemade solutions for
that purpose. i.e. some kind of plastic (tupperware or
equiv.) piece modified to fit. I believe you can still
get an OEM or equiv. part.

I haven't used one yet, but understand that cover is
meant to keep water/dirt/spiders etc out. i.e. when I
serviced my fridge, I found a couple of spiders in
combustion chamber.......
