RV Range Hoods: Ducted vs Ductless Furrion & InVision

When replacing an RV kitchen range hood, start by checking where the air goes. A ducted hood is designed to discharge through a suitable exterior outlet; a ductless hood filters and recirculates air inside the RV. Both can look similar under the cabinet, but they have different outlet requirements and should not be chosen by width alone. These four 12-volt models from Furrion and InVision illustrate the differences.

Where does the cooking air go?

Ducted: air exits the RV

Examples: Furrion FHO23SACR-BL and InVision 280-4100. These require a correctly positioned duct outlet and appropriate exterior venting hardware.

Ductless: air returns indoors

Examples: Furrion FHO23SACRV-BL and InVision 280-4300. There is no exterior exhaust path in this configuration.

Furrion and InVision range-hood model comparison

Exact manufacturer number Vent style Rated airflow Outside size (W × D × H)
Furrion FHO23SACR-BL Exterior duct 100 CFM 23½ × 17¾ × 4¾ in
Furrion FHO23SACRV-BL Interior recirculation 105 CFM 23½ × 17¾ × 4¾ in
InVision 280-4100 Exterior duct 80 CFM 22 × 17.65 × 4 in
InVision 280-4300 Interior recirculation 65 CFM 22 × 16.4 × 4 in

All four are listed for 12V DC supply. The Furrion models use an approximately 23½-inch-wide under-cabinet body; the InVision hoods are 22 inches wide. The vented InVision 280-4100 is deeper than the ventless 280-4300. The measurements above are overall hood dimensions, not a universal cabinet cutout or wall duct opening.

The Furrion model suffix matters. FHO23SACR-BL is the exterior-ducted black model rated at 100 CFM, whereas FHO23SACRV-BL is the interior-recirculating black model rated at 105 CFM. The extra V identifies a different ventilation arrangement; it is not merely a colour or packaging change.

Five checks before ordering a replacement hood

  1. Find your original model label. Record the full part number, particularly the Furrion SACR versus SACRV suffix or the InVision 280-4100 versus 280-4300 distinction.
  2. Confirm the ventilation route. Check for an existing exterior wall outlet or duct. A ducted hood requires the correct opening and vent termination; a ductless hood is not a like-for-like replacement when the installation requires exterior exhaust.
  3. Measure the cabinet space. Compare width, depth and height along with rear clearance, adjacent doors, mounting screws and nearby cabinetry. Use the exact appliance installation instructions for required clearances.
  4. Verify power and safe wiring. These four products require a 12-volt DC connection. Follow the manufacturer's circuit and installation instructions; do not connect to 120V shore power.
  5. Identify filters and service items separately. A replaceable filter for one range-hood family is not automatically suitable for another. Check the complete replacement-part number instead of matching appearance alone.

Which of these four designs is closest to yours?

For a roughly 23½-inch black Furrion hood, first identify whether the installation has an exterior duct. For a stainless-finish 22-inch InVision hood, compare the back-to-front depth and outlet arrangement: 280-4100 is the vented 80-CFM model and 280-4300 is the ventless 65-CFM model. Even when those basic details agree, confirm the installation drawing and existing hardware before ordering.
