Today I added this. It was needed. 36' 50amp cords are hard to deal with. Heavy and not that easy to work with. Super easy to crank and spool into rear storage.

Today I replaced the cheap stock bathroom vent for a Maxxair 7500. I was shocked at how easy the stock one was to remove. Very poorly installed. Im shocked it didnt leak.

Nicely done, I may have to consider that one. But first DW wants me to put a fan in the master bedroom (we didn't get the front AC). Seems like a straightforward job too except for sourcing some 12v DC power to run the fan.

Maybe you can figure it out first and post some pics for everyone?

I bet there are wires in there. We didn't get the front AC, but it is wired for it. DW doesn't think we need a front one. She thinks the vent is enough, because she is always cold. Super easy job. Ive done them before, and in the past, the old ones were pretty difficult to remove. This one basically popped up with a little bit of "Force" See what I did there?

We're did you guys get the shelf brackets from? And on the strong arms were did you mount your spare tire? I'm thinking of doing these mods also but might just put the spare in the back compartment. I'm new to the 29.5s and love both your posts and mods. Thanks guys.

I've done this. Added a Maxxair deluxe up there. There are wires there, but they are for the lighting and controlled by the light switch for the bedroom. :-(

I pulled a wire through the ceiling to tap into the wires that power the bathroom vent fan. I got my arm into the ceiling and pushed a stiff wire (rebar tire wire in my case) over to the bathroom vent, taped some copper wire to it and pulled it back through. Between my son (11 at the time) and i, we were really close to being able to hand the wire off directly.

Have ran them both on high and the wires didn't get hot or burn the camper down. Only ever run the bathroom fan during showers or oder removal operations.

You guys are killing me with all the new things I have to do now.....

Have fun with your project!

I got it on Amazon. I painted it black before I installed it.

Looks awesome I see that light strip is 16 feet long were you able to use the entire strip going around the frame or did you have to hide excess
