Scott:

I just installed some stainless side vents that I got from Jim Bounds. They
come with a diagram showing exactly where to cut into the side panels. No
problems whatsoever.

Scott,
The most popular vents that you will see on the GMC's are sold by
Caspro-GMC (800-877-1911). I belong to the GMC Greatlakers and most of
the coaches have installed these vents. They are stainless steel and
come with hardware and instructions.

Tom, I did not save the receipt but it seems to me they were a little less
than the ones in the Caspro catelogue.

I bought some side engine vents that I got from Norm Karsh. Very tricky
to keep them within the space that is behind the wheel well and the
firewall. I added some fans that I got from Norm and it makes a lot of
noise, but it does move lots of air from the engine compartment.
