Advice Please from New Builder

[ShaunE]

I have just purchased a LWB Crafter to convert. My plan for the kitchen is very similar to the images attached. My question is, the exterior of the van shows fridge vents only, where would the oven vent too?
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks Shaun

Is there a vent on an oven? Mine has none I can see, It just wafts into the hab area and the fan blows it from the top of the door. Just like at home.

Now your water heater has an in and out vent...

Sorry I should have been more clear, gas extraction vent for oven.

Our Burstner has a roof outlet, with a top hat.

As camping cola says, I don't believe there is one.

I have a small circular grill type vent on the outside of the MH which is behind the oven.

It may depend upon your choice of oven and what the manufacturer recommends. Spinflo say that it should be in a well ventilated area.

As already mentioned, some gas cookers don't have external vents but perhaps some of the larger ones do? Our little SMEV one doesn't. I can only suggest choose your oven first then add a vent if necessary. Or choose one without a vent so you don't have to cut any holes.
On your kitchen design is there room to add a lift up flap on the right of the unit? It would give more work surface although you can spend £100K+ on some German MHs and have no more room.
Just as an aside and having seen several self-builds on here using conventional hinges you might want to consider using piano hinges on every opening door. Our Murvi uses them and after four years the doors are still solidly in place. I've heard stories of doors falling off and I strongly suspect they were fitted using separate small hinges.

On the smevs it vents through a gap all round the oven into the vanlook at the chrome surrond and youll see theres a gap to the cooker sides

 

[mitzimad]

remember with that layout the fridge vents will be behind the door when its open which isnt ideal

Hello and Thanks

This is a super friendly forum. I will spend my £15.00 on subs. I have only just purchased the van so all the help and advice is very welcome

Cheers Shaun

Welcome to the fun house Shaun!

The oven shown in the images above (a Smev) doesn't have a rear vent as there is one built into the front of the casing just above the oven door (see below) which also has a slide-out piece of metal to provide a 'canopy' to try to prevent the heat melting the worktop/sockets above as they get very hot in use.
