Hi all,
Awhile back I saw a post about removing a metal cover in the hood above the stove in a Lance. As I have a 2005 Lance 835 and am about to leave on a trip I put this on my list to do be fore leaving. Well it sure surprised me when I found that it is not even vented to the outside . Is this normal or did the factory forget to cut a hole for it. I can't see where the hood would do a lot of good the way it is. Comments anyone?

Could it be equipped with a charcoal filter?
If so, it would just re-circulate the air.
I have the same at home.
Certainly not the most efficient system.

Sounds like poor workmanship

I noticed this the first day I took my camper out couple of years ago. DW was wondering why smoke is inside the camper while cooking with the blower on. Uhmm maybe a nice DIY project since there is already a blower. Just poke a hole behind the hood and you have an exhaust.

Be nice if it was that easy.... you need a RV range hood vent cap that secures when on the move and duct to pass through the wall. Watch out for wires when you cut the hole......

I'd call Lance and stop by and have them do it! Should be freebee! To my thinking. Capt PJ

I agree with pjay9. If you are near the Lance Facory, have them do it as a warranty item.

My 06 8scs did not have an outside vent so I removed the fan and light and installed an LED light.

I've had seven new campers over the last 20 years and two were Lances everyone had a vent for the rangehood I'm sure that final inspection would'nt miss something like that unless its an option on some models.
