Bathroom Fan

[douglas smith]

I have finally seen the bathroom round fan/vent cover take its final trip in the opposite direction I am travelling. Sigh...
Can anyone give me any insights on finding/cutting the 14 inch hole to install a Fantastic fan? I'd appreciate the light, the quicker dryout and the
loss of the horrible scream of a dry bearing. A search of the forum didn't turn up any specifics I could find.
Thanks in advance to a swell group of people.

You can also replace that Ventline round roof vent with a new one. etrailer.com has them as well as parts. Applied GMC might also carry them.

You enlarge the hole for the existing fan. Search the GMC Photosite. There are how to's there.

Best and easy way is to remove the old then slightly lower the ceiling and
it will become evident as to the area available. ALso go up on the roof and
look for clearance for cargo pod and railing.ALso try to avoid going too
far to the edge where it curves dramatically.

Suggest the MAX FAN as it has two arms and you never need to worry about
the fatigue of the lid like the Fantastic.

Douglas, I also had plans of installing a bigger vent in my coach. But with all the stuff I have on the roof I didn't have room for a bigger one.
Jim K has a round replacement direct fit fan that works great. Then I installed LED lights to brighten the bathroom.

I increased the headroom in the bath by installing a 14"x14" vent, without a fan, forward of the small round vent fan. I also replaced the round vent
fan with one from Applied. This gave me enough ventilation and most importantly light in the bathroom. There is sufficient space in the roof
structure well forward of the small vent fan for a standard size vent.
