Raining in when cooking!?

[Mcdee]

We usually have the side (sliding) window open when cooking in the van but when it rains, the water comes in. Has anyone got any gadgets/ideas to stop this - not cooking and/or cooking outside are not options! I have had a bit of a search online and found something called an 'Airscreen' that fits into an awning channel on the German brandup site. Not sure if this is available here or if there are better/easier options.

That looks interesting. I will have to think about how I can make one
Can't remember seeing them in the uk Brandrup brochure

Here is a picture from the site. You have to navigate to Airscreen as the link is not working. EUR65.00 from there.

Presumably we're talking horizontal rain here. Could try turning the van around .

Yes... it's an old thread, but for anyone who is browsing and interested, there's a thread with a few options in here:

Works very well for cooking in the rain

And going even further, if you fancy experimenting with extraction there are various possibilities here in these excellent videos by Chili:
