Anyone use a stovetop without a range hood?

I just noticed our new camper doesn't have a range hood. Can't believed I missed that. We love to cook when camping and fry up bacon, fish etc. The range hood on our Lance wasn't all that powerful but it helped. We have a 14" vent with fan about 4 feet away and I'm hoping that will pull out smoke and smells. Anyone else have this issue and how's it working for you? Thanks.

    I do not cook all that often inside when camping. Almost all is done outside on a Coleman or warming up in the microwave. But, for the few rimes I do use the range I will use the Fantastic fan and open the window that is adjacent to the cooktop. It seems to work fine for me.

    Most coaches that have a microwave/convection are now set up to vent internally, so you always need to run the roof vent fan to exhaust to the outside.
