Dont know if its the same type but on ours the boiler vent cover (Truma I think) needs pressure applied in the center of the cover then it comes away easily.
Struggled for years until I found this out

You couldnt make it up. A company makes covers that are hard to lift, then makes a tool to lift them. Double money? Its like Thetford selling the gunk for top tanks, then selling another gunk to do away with the black stuff the first gunk causes.
Those flue covers need to be pulled out and forward from the bottom lip, whilst pressing in the centre. Our bbq point is just the same.

It gets worse, that 'tool' cost mere pence to produce, but retailing at near £16! Talk about fleecing the gullible!
Selling a tool at all to overcome a problem that is down to plain poor design in the first place really is taking the wee wee, they should give it away on demand as a service to long suffering customers of their inferior products!
Superior German engineering, my backside! So many caravan parts of German origin are truly dreadful design - Alko spare wheel carrier must rate as one of the most diabolical!
