Hi guys,

I have recently brought a T25 and am looking to modify the existing interior etc. Before I redo the roof lining (as the original carpet is perishing and front and rear linings are stained) I wanted to see if any members have some kind of extraction hood for their vans?

I was thinking I could do a custom job, try to make a flat packable lightweight hood where the extraction pipe would probably go out of the sliding window. I could possibly fit an electric hood as you would have in a kitchen for use when hooked up or on an inverter but I really want something compact and collapsible.

Any thoughts and ideas would be great,

Will

Are you on about over the cooker ??? if so just open the massive door opposite!!!!!!!

Come on James now, there might be a monsoon blowing out there or the werewolves are about at night...

Will,

Not remember seeing sophisticated cooker hoods and extactor fans much... er, at all - is this for smells or the heat? There's usually a roof vent up there somewhere on better campers.

CakTanks sell a solar extractor - virtually silent. About £39 I think. Some of the others tend to be a bit noisy.

Cheers James that's well useful...

I thought if I'm spending a bit of money on the roof then it may be an idea to stop the grease, smells etc you get from cooking on the hobs. Thanks for the info Carolyn , I'll check it out.

ha, and i thought this thread was about someone who used to like agricultural vehicles.......................

i have a fiamma turbo roof fan vent, it extracts everything, including small people if its turned right up..........

i've got a turbo vent, quite steep to buy new and to be honest i've not used it all that much, but it does do a complete air change in the van in about a minute! it can get rid of fumes from cooking very quickly.

i've also got a solar vent from cak, i would highly recomend these, they run whenever it is light enough but the speed varies depending on brightness of light, and it is silent, and i mean silent, you can only hear it when you put your ear up to it! we got it because it was getting very hot in the van in a morning, with sun beating down on to the high top. it makes one hell of a difference!

iHa Ha! Love it.

I have the 10" 3 speed Turbo fan in place of my rooflight...it don't arf suck and/or blow....as has already been said, you can change the entire internal air in seconds.

Footnote; At the end of the season you will have to clean the fan components of grease and muck build-up, the degree of muck will be depending on how often you used it .
