Kempert -
About the flap - you put the picture in my mind. Thanks. This flap (it runs the width of the sofa and is about 8 inches wide) is supposed to be lifted up and SECURED WITH THE TURN LATCHES when you are getting ready to collapse the camper. If you don't use at least one of the turn latches, the flap can flop down, which leaves it hanging outside the camper. Then, when you fold down the front shell, the flap is pressed against the furnace vent which, as you say, is on the front wall of the lower shell. If that vent is still hot, then it can melt or burn an imprint into surface of the flap.
Hope that made sense. Always secure that flap in the up position!
