Although our caravan is only two years old, we are having a lot of difficulty opening the Omnivent once it has been closed.  This is the third Omnivent we have had installed. 

The first went faulty as we had no control over the speed settings.  The next one started sticking when trying to open it and it was replaced.  The current one is now displaying the same issue.

If it is closed right down and then you turn the knob to open it, it starts to open then sticks and considerable force is requried to open it further.  Unfortunately due to arthritis we do not have this considerable force and have to keep trying until suddenly
it opens as if there was never an issue in the first place.  We have not used the caravan that much since the last one was replaced about a year or so ago.

Has anyone else experienced this problem with the Omnivent sticking when trying to open it?
