Opening, high end of the vent hood should face toward the rear. We leave our vent lids open a couple inches to get natural ventilation. This reduces or eliminates negative pressure inside the rig that can suck fumes of many types in.
You are right that the opening should be to the rear so the vent lid can be raised. But that is right where the tank roof vent is. If I go all new maybe I can put it in backwards so the opening is forward. Not the right way for vortex and all that, as mentioned. Hmmmm.
I think the vents open pointing aft so the lid won't blow off if you leave it open a bit while driving. With the vent hood on, that lid should be safe from blowing off.
Good point about the sink. There is no grey water tank in the TC, it shares with the black when not on hook ups. (No hook-ups you can simply have the grey pour into a bucket and put a lid on that to dump the bucket somewhere later, if not suitable to let it drain out with a hose off to the side.)
There is also a shower drain in the floor in front of the toilet. The TC has a sort of "wet bathroom".
We don't use the blue stuff, which smells bad IMO. We just use soap down the toilet and that works in our other Rvs no problem. Just have to get this one in shape too.
Good ideas, thanks.
