Salem 27rkss stove hood exhaust

I have a 2013 Salem 27RKSS. I just picked it up at the end of the winter It has the standard 3 burner stove with the exhaust hood. I can't figure out where it exhausts.Usually these just go right out the side. I don't feel it just recirculating back into the trailer.I peaked up on the roof, but didn't see anything besides the vent for the refrigerator. I don't suppose they would have tied it into that somehow? I'm going up to put on the vent covers this weekend if it stops raining, so I'll poke around then. It's been bugging me since I brought the trailer home and started putting in everything we took out of our old trailer.Anyone have any experience with this?
  • I was up on the roof installing the vent covers. Turns out it does vent through the refrigerator vent straight through the roof. I think I like that system. If it has enough power to push the air that far it will be nice. It will save me the cost and time of replacing the little flap that I seemed to lose every other year.
  • The installation instructions on ours explains how to install it either way.
  • A lot of them don't vent outside, mine didn't, I modified it, now it does.
  • My trailer had a hood that did not vent to the outside. Recirculated thru a filter to the inside. Piece of junk; I removed it. Now it is easier to use the burners.
