I was recently working with a customer who wanted to retrofit and upgrade his mega teardrop camper (NuCamp TAB 400, Forest River R-Pod, Little Guy Max, that kind of a camper). He and his wife, both bon vivant chefs, enjoy steaming vegetables and sauteing home-cooked meals on their 2-burner propane range. They also live in this Lilliputian rig full-time, I might add.

So my customer – let’s call him “Grant” – asks me if we can install a range hood. “Sure,” I pipe up. “Not too difficult.” 

Boy, was I wrong.
