And it certainly doesn't help that the range hood company (Heng's) doesn't even list that part number in their catalog or on their website. They do list a "R0424500-C", but that is likely the old...

We like ours simply because the fan works. It exhausts all cooking odors and smoke, and does so quietly. The tin box fans in most of these range hoods don't really move any air at all. They just make...

My bolts ran all the way through the cabinet floor, and the heads were exposed. Can't figure why they'd cover them up on yours - makes no sense. I'd hate to have to cut the cabinet bottom just to get...

I used a spot weld removal bit, quick and easy. I don't recall the holes being very large, and most were covered by the SAM-1.

That's true Jon, the rattle would get on one's nerves. I was thinking more along the lines of breaking off the little flap entirely, since it would not be needed.

Pat's correct, I did use the outside vent that came with the SAM-1. No leaks either stationary or traveling. If I were to do it again today though, on one of the newer trailers, I'd probably just...

Glad to hear everything worked out, Leon. Now that several folks have done it, the process is well documented and easier. Once again the forum proves it's value.

As a side note, if I were having a...

It's much easier to remove the tin box spot welds with a spot weld cutter bit. They're readily available at most places that sell tools.

You mount the SAM-1 centered along the back, just as the...

The hood is removed for the retrofit. Not possible to keep it in place due to wiring and hardware mods that are required, and even if you could, you wouldn't want to. That would be really awkward.

Looks good Chris. Since I also changed out the stock exterior vent cover with the one that came with the kit, I needed to take a Dremel to the exhaust piece and trimmed maybe 1/2" off. Then I used a...

Ours was taped too Ron - some shiny silver tape over the hole. I just removed it before I took the photo.

Still, not enough air volume to open the flap. We also nixed the charcoal filter and the...

Some photos of the fan installed. First with the light on low, second with the light on high. Another of the new exterior vent. The exterior vent does have to be trimmed so the flange that protrudes...

Along with a couple minor mods, I installed the SAM-1 Conversion today. No wonder the tin box couldn't vent air. You should see what poor quality is was. Anyway, the SAM-1 moves alot of air at three...

FOP SAM-1 Range Hood Fan Upgrade Kit

I haven't installed it yet, but I thought I'd post some photos/first impressions of the SAM-1 Range Hood Fan Upgrade kit from Fabulous Operating Products.

The fan is well packaged with cardboard...
