So I am looking for ideas. Our little travel trailer has no ceiling fan:/vent. Rather than making another hole I was wondering if anyone has ideas about using the skylight hole. In a perfect world there was a unit that would fit the hole. The search is on. I thought of using a 1/4” thick flat plexiglass and entering a generic 14 1/2 “ fan in the center of sheet. Anyway ideas welcome.

This is what I used. You need existing power, but you may be able to drop a nearby light and tap off of the wires and snake though the ceiling. Do it proper though.
click that. No clue why it did that haha. I’ve never uploaded a link

Thanks that is the exactly what I used to replace the existing vent in the salon. Hoping the new added fan in the bathroom will create a cross draught and provide a direct exit for bathroom moisture and odours ( mostly my wife’s)🤪

I ordered a vengs vortex fan or whatever it’s called. It works incredible.
the issue you will have will be running power to it, if there is no existing fan, but you could look into solar options too

how big is the skylight hole? if it is a standard opening then you could just put a fantastic fan style unit in there. to me a good fan is more usefull then a skylight, but thats just me.. there are different cover materials that let more or less light in.
what kind of trailer is it that doesnt have a vent? I have never seen one that doesnt.

It is a Tracer Air made by Forest River. It had a vent in the salon but no fan. I installed one with a fan but it really doesn’t do the job.
The Sky light rough opening 14 1/2” x 22”. I will look into the fantastic fan dimensions thanks.
