New, (to us) van, New problem.

Our super duper van has the benefit of a kitchen extractor hood.
On putting everything into the van, Mrs Emmit noticed, (could hardly miss it)
that the glass top to the hob had more than one or two drops of water on it,
and, on lifting the lid, that the hob had more water within it.

Suspicion has fallen on the vent pipe for the extractor that would seem to be
topped with a Truma Vent Cowl, thus;

Now it could be that some over enthusiastic cleaning of the roof prior to sale
resulted in a horizonal spray getting between the 'Hat' and the vent,
causing water to travel down the tube and into the kitchen.
However, it occurred to me that when travelling along the road, we
could encounter the same problem as the rain would, in effect, be hitting the vent
in a horizontal plane.

Has anybody encountered water in the kitchen as a result?

Is the Truma model, Fit for purpose?

Would this model be a better alternative?

But before changing it.... Dry well and see what happens when it rains..
