EASIEST DIY Roof Vent Install ( For Tiny House or Camper Van / RV ) | Fan Tastic Vent:
Step 1:
Make sure you have all of the tools that you need to complete the project before you start. For my vent, I used the Fan-tastic RV roof vent made by Dometic. You will also need 100% waterproof silicone, a drill, drill bits, a marker and a jigsaw or a circular saw.
Step 2:
Decide the placement of your roof vent based on the other things that you intend to occupy your roof with. In my case, I intend to install solar panels toward the back of my roof, so that area is off limits for placement of the fan. It is also important to note that you should not try to place your roof vent fan on any curved or angled surfaces on your roof if you have any. On most of these old vans (like the one that I'm working on in this video), they often times had a slight incline before becoming a flat roof. Installing a fan on the inclined area of your roof may cause your fan to detach when driving at highway speeds, so pick your placement wisely!
Step 3:
Use your template to draw out your cutting surface on top of your roof. If the roof vent that you chose to use does not come with a template, trace the area of the vent that is supposed to be recessed into the living space. It may be a good idea to draw your lines slightly smaller than the opening is intended to be. Its always better to be able to cut more off to make a snug fit later on compared to cutting off too much early on in the process.
Step 4:
Drill holes in your Tiny House, camper van, or RV roof using any drill bit that is larger than your saw blade. This will allow you to place the blade inside of the hole to begin your cut. Drilling a hole in all four corners of your square will make the cutting process a little bit easier.
step 5:
cover the edges of your hole and the edges of your roof vent fan with 100% waterproof silicone or caulking. This will ensure that your roof vent will not leak any water during rainy days after the install is complete. Next place your vent in the hole and drill it into place.
Step 6:
Hook up your fan to your electrical system and you should be finished! Depending of the type of roof vent that you have, You may need to do a few additional steps to cover the opening from the inside of your tiny house or van in order for it to have a finished look.
