Installing dryer vent?
When installing a dryer vent........how do you locate the studs in the wall? If anyone has installed a dryer vent, would like to hear from them, about how they went about cutting the hole etc. Thanks

- I was able to find a blueprint on-line that showed where the dryer vent should be installed in the side wall. Then I used a 4" hole saw to penetrate the sidewall. A couple fittings and a plastic cover from Home Depot and it works like a charm.

- I don't think a magnetic stud finder would find the studs as most studs in RV's these days are aluminum.
- On a moist morning I can usually see mine. Might try misting the side early in the morning. I would think a stud finder would find them.
- Park with that side facing the sun, the metal stud locations will be hotter than the rest of the insulated wall panels.
