[Rhodes22-list] Reply to Mark

[Todd Zumach]

My 1986 has a Nicro day/night solar vent in the chain port and a second
solar only vent mounted on the cabin foldable door.  This combination was
set up by previous owners (Ron Finelli and ??).  It seems to work well in
our humid summers in Northern Wisconsin.
