If the flue vent is the piece I'm thinking of, it might stick out too
much for this...having said that, how about one of those magnetic sheets
that people get car door signs made out of?  Make it big enough to stick
to the van body around the flue vent.  Get the kind with a white surface
and it might even reflect the light fairly well.  One problem is that
this stuff is relatively thick and you might end up with unsightly
wrinkles in it.  Also, if you leave it on too long, it tends to trap
dirt and gunk between itself and the body panels.  Maybe it's "a part of
this nutritious breakfast" rather than a meal in itself.
