Vortex bath fan roof vent modification
A couple of years ago I upgraded my bathroom vent fan from the junky OEM noisy fan to the Vortex II that so many of us here have upgraded to.....
Since about 90% of our camping is drycamping.....battery usage is always on my mind.....my wife and daughters would turn the fan on, close the door and then exit the motorhome....leaving the fan on for who know's how long? As good as this new fan is...it's too quiet!
So I added a 5 minute spring wound timer in a blank corner.....it was smooth and straight forward.....I only had to grind 2 corners of the timers faceplate...
5 minutes of fan time should be enough and won't break the battery bank.....so to speak!
