Does anyone have the vent out of the side of their GMC and can measure the size of the opening?
If you do this for me please also tell me what the year of the GMC is because they might vary a little and the Royale might also be a little different.
I am trying to come up with another electric operated vent. I stopped making them a few years back as the manufacturer of the solenoid discontinued it.
I have had several recent requests for the vent that automatically opens when turning on the stove fan.
Thanks.

That sounds about right. I'm putting a good in mine - it had the opening and outside hood, but no way to close it. It was hidden in the microwave cabinet. I'm going to use some 2x10 duct from the range hood to the opening. Simple flap on the outside hinged at the top, the air flow will open it.

Yes, the air flow will open it but so will the wind. Especially when a truck passes you. You'll also likely get rain down inside the wall. You should have a latch to keep it closed or a spring on it to pull it closed.

Yes, that's why I put one of Emery's solenoid operated vents on my coach. Got tired of looking in my left rearview and seeing the old one flapping in the breeze.

Charles Wood had that leakage problem and the water ruined the cabinet over the stove and sink.

My experience has been with the flap on the outside, wind doesn't bother it under the little metal canopy.
