    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Making holes

    I have a 2012 Grandby with a fantastic fan above the bed. I too did not want to drill a hole in my roof when I installed my solar panel. I had enough room on the side on the of my vent just below lid to thread two 10 gauge wires. After sealing with silicone I have had no leaks, worked out...

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West Refer Fan Photo?

    Mine is not vented to the outside, To avoid dust and cold temps I did not want to cut a hole on the outside of the camper. In addition to the vent I cut next to the stove there is about a 3/4 inch gap between the top of the fridge and counter top.

    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West roof lifting helper shocks thingys

    KILROY, I used an aluminum backing plate that measures 3" x 4.75" x 3/16". The wood paneling in the camper as well as the aluminum frame are very thin.

    It was pretty easy. I had to slide the fridge about six inches out of the way of the cabinet to access the top and bottom swing arm pins that the door swings on. Four screws hold the top swing arm pin, I removed top pin and lifted the door off of the bottom pin. With the door off of the...
