Troubleshooting A Furrion RV Microwave That Doesn't Vent Well
Question:
Mine doesn’t seem to vent at all. It really gets moist inside and doesn’t seem to have any airflow coming out of the vent on top of micro. Where should I check to possibly find the issue.

To find out why the Furrion Over the Range RV Convection Microwave # FMCM15SS isn't properly venting you'll need to remove it from the wall and check the ductwork running from the microwave to the outside of the trailer. These ducts can get clogged up over time and prohibit air flow causing the issues that you're currently facing. A majority of the venting process is done with the rear vent and not the front one that you were referring to.
Another possibility is that you do not have any ductwork and the air is sticking in that one spot because it doesn't have easy access out of the trailer and has to circulate around for longer. If this is the case then you can add in a vent with part # V2111-55 or # V2111-13. You'll want to pick up some butyl tape # CAM25013 and non-sag sealant # 344270341437-1 to form a proper watertight seal to wall of your trailer. You'll also want some HVAC tape to seal up the inside around the vent.
