On my '17 Triton it was fairly easy to remove the bottom section of the chimney - where it joins the roof - to be able to fit the cover.

My '04 Troll is as pictured - so far the bottom section has resisted my normal advances when it comes to removing it.

The actual arrangement at the bottom seems slightly different (based on old memories so who knows???)

Question - is it supposed to unscrew as expected?

I've got a Pro-Tech cover on the way and although they allow a bit of a bulge for the chimney I don't think it will cope without removing the base.

On my 2007 Triton 430 the top cap unscrews, not the base. Folk then generally stick a tennis ball in the open flue to offer a smooth edge to the cover.

IIRC the top opening section screws off, as does the stub beneath, leaving the smoothed edged bottom piece which folks generally fill with a tennis ball if covering.

Thou hasn't bin tryin' 'ard enuff Mr 'Uddersfield Narrow.

The new cover will be here some time in August so hopefully we'll have time for a few dry runs and see if it will fit with it in place.

I suspect the answer may be to hold the chimney stub steady and rotate the van.........

If I applied any more torque, I'd be turning the bloody caravan.

We have a Protech cover for our Troll and it comes with a tailored flue cover. The van cover is tailored to sit easily over the flue stub.
So you only need to remove the top of the flue.

Definitely remove the top of the flue as movement of the cover will wear the cover through.
Oh, and I can't turn my lower stack part either.
