Hiya folks. So I'm refurbishing an '88/'89 Odyssey and I've run into a problem. The former owner removed the range hood. No big deal, I'll just buy one online, right? WRONG! None of the options available on line seem like they will fit. FIRST, the sizes don't seem right. It appears as though my original range hood was 19" wide. But no one I've talked to has apparently ever heard of a 19" wide range hood. 20" is the smallest anyone seems to know of. SECOND, the cutout size is becoming rare these days. The cutout is roughly 7.5" by 3". Almost all current range hoods are designed for 10" by 3" (or something close to that) cutouts. No big deal though, because I've spoken to a few RV salvage places that have 20" range hoods with the 7.5" by 3" cutout... except THIRD the cutout seems to be in an odd location! Notice in the picture how it starts exactly level with the cabinet. Most range hoods seem to have the cutout about a half-inch or so below where the base attaches. What is going on here? Would anyone out there with an Odyssey mind investigating your range hood a little? Is yours 19" wide or 20"? Do you see a manufacturer name printed anywhere on it? Ventline says they never made a 19" range hood but perhaps Elixir did. It would be a big help if I knew who the manufacturer was and could hunt them down. Thanks for any info you can provide! -Matt

Wondering if by some miracle anyone out there who owns a late 80's/early 90's Odyssey would happen to have some original BLUE curtains lying around? It's the bluish, greenish, greyish velour. I've seen a lot of Odysseys sold in the past where people have completely redone the curtains and I'm thinking it would be great if one of these people happened to still have the originals in their possesion. Or maybe you have a rotted out Odyssey in your yard you're looking to part out... My Odyssey's curtain set is nearly complete, only missing a few pieces... so its hard for me to justify making all new curtains. But somehow a couple pieces were lost (rear window valance, one cabover side window curtain, and privacy curtain for the cabover). I have looked EVERYWHERE trying to match the fabric but it seems impossible. Hoping maybe someday if I'm diligent I will find someone with some of these curtains who doesn't need them. If you can help me in any way... I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!! please e-mail me at: eternitycomplex@yahoo.com for a quicker response. THANKS!!
