makeshift vent
I also did not have a hood [vented or otherwise] in our 2020 Thor Daybreak Class C. We needed one for cooking also. There is a window across half the back of the range area. The distance from the window to the refrigerator cabinet wall was too narrow to put in a conventional vented hood like the original author did. I was also nervous about cutting into the exterior of the coach.
My solution was to take a piece of plexaglas/lexan, cut to slip into the screen slot of the window. I drilled/mounted an EBAY 4" [120cm] square computer cooling fan [ I could have chosen either AC or DC] so that it would exhaust to the outside. I chose a 12V fan with a small 12V rechargable powerpack* for power. I put a piece of foam filter material across the interior side of the fan.
It works very effectively.
[Pictures can be provided, if there is interest, next time I take the camper out of storage.]
TOTAL COST: Fan- $6 Plexi- $4, Battery pack- $4.50, Batteries & charger- $15, Filter- free from stuff I had [could use nylon screen ].
* Alkaline batteries [8-AAs] would have been much cheaper.
