The ventilation apparatus includes a main exhaust system for moving interior air from the interior of the vehicle to an exterior of the vehicle. A first area air handling system for moving air between the interior and the exterior of the vehicle in a first area. A second area air handling system for moving air between the interior and the exterior of the vehicle in a second area. A first actuator for controlling the rate of airflow through the main exhaust system, the first area air handling system, and the second area air handling system.
