Acrylic or glass windows

With the solar panels taking up all the free roof space on the sides of the roof, where to put the exhaust.
Vent out to rear with ducting ? Or to the side. As it would be low heat you can just have some sort of aerated flat cover on the side to vent out to, maybe with a flap to stop water going in from the weather bit like:

It's 8.1 metres long. 2.2 wide and 3.1 high. The rest I'll edit in later as Anita is having a day off due to having 16 stiches in her leg yesterday.

OH NO, that's not good - hope she feels better soon
8.1 metres is just over 26.5 feet
The one I am thinking of getting is 29 feet or 8.84 metres, so similar in size I would imagine

With what I'm after the extractor fan mount in the roof.

Says:
"The extractor hood should preferably be mounted above the cooking zone and built into a suspended cabinet if possible"

Sure it wouldn't make too much odds to vent out the side if the ducting length not overly long, worth testing maybe whilst not in place turned on with a long length of ducting and see what Fan pressure is at the end compared to straight out of the hood.
 
It's hard to explain, but I have very limited options of what I can do with the roof. The rolled edge you see above the windows is part of the roll over structure. Not somewhere to put big holes. When Anita is up to it we'll do a dummy fit of the solar panels and then see what options are left. Fortunately, Plaxton have provided us with a parts list and drawings with some dimensions. Helps to find hidden structure.

This is "Betty" the plaxton Cheetah. The one with bonded windows. This about 8.5 metres long and a bit wider and taller. I don't have any current pictures that show the whole of the outside, the paint work is more subtle now. The one I'd shown earlier has better designed widows. All the hard work has been done on that, just some finishing to the bodywork and then painting.

Yes the LHE Mercedes ‘Murky” is the one that we’ll be selling. It’s supposed to be pale lilac, but the blue bleached out quite quickly making it look more pink.
