Dryer vent install

We have a 2013 sierra fifth wheel and we are wanting to install and washer and dryer.

Ive seen somewhere they make a vertical vent for a rv. Does anyone know where or if they seen them anywhere?


Instead of drilling thru the gelcoat to get a vent out i wanted to come out under the pin box area.

  • You want the vent going as straight as possible, or slightly down. Use a 4" hole saw. Do a exploratory hole from the interior to check for frame, wires, etc. use blue tape on the outside, and drill away. Easy peasy.

  • Drilling thru the gel coat is a non issue,I taped the area to be cut ,drilled a hole,used a good fine bladed jig saw,Installed chrome vent, caulked,1 hour job at most.
