I unlatch/latch the vent closed by using a two step foldout stool to reach the dog ears and at only 5'9" that works for me. I don't know why, but sometimes on tiptoes I can reach it and sometimes I can't. If I have levelers on that side I definitely can't reach. I have used hooked end of the awning rod to close and open the dog ears.

In my early RVing days most folks I talked to were pretty adamant that I should latch it closed when not set up for range hood use. I don't remember why and no longer question it, and it's just part of my procedures to open and close when setting up and breaking down.
