The only thing we miss in our 179 is an exhaust hood and a backsplash in the kitchen. Has anybody done one? If so, what method did you use to attach it to the walls? Thanks, Geoff in CT, USA ------------- When in doubt, go strong and wrong |

We installed a clear plexiglass backsplash that covered the entire wall over the sink/stove cabinet. We used standard mirror clips for the plexiglass. We used short screws(3/4") with a small dab of glue on the threads before we screwed them into place. they have held fine for 3 years and over 20,000 miles. Can't help you with the exhaust fan . However, we did mount a small(8") electric fan that will help ventilate the area. We always have to remove the smoke detector battery while cooking. Here is a page with a lot of our modifications-you can see the fan and backsplash.

I used almond laminate and glued it on with water base contact cement.

A hood is overkill on the pods, just use the bathroom fan, it will be just as effective. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
