Atwood provides a circuit board raising kit (retrofit kit) free, but would not ship directly to me only to my Atwood repair facility. See if your backed up repair shop will order for you and just let you install it. Since I did the louver overlay I've had no more problems. I had weatherstripping on the inside of my panel, so it was the louvers which were the problem.
Gotta link for that stainless steel vent? I just used a piece of a steel vent from Lowes and painted it. 2 years later and it's starting to rust.


EDIT:

I found one on Amazon and it should be a perfect fit; plus 5% off!
