Annette,
When I travel I take two vents, just in case. Although I only use vents for
sleeping, I would hate to deal with waiting for my supplier to deliver a
vent in the middle of the night.
I've been reading about you all using different vents. Does anyone use a
Bennett/Puritan Bantam? This is what I use and have been using for the past
15 years. It is noisy but I am used to it. However, it does through out a
lot of soot. If anyone out there uses a Bantam, do you have this problem?
