Low profile roof vent? anyone?

Question

Hi everybody,I'm building my own campervan (DIY conversion) out of a 2010 extended Ford E250.I don't have a lot of free space between the high top and the top of the garage opening.I want to choose a roof vent that is very low profile so I don't get into trouble when backing up in my garage.I have searched the web but I want something that will move air not just a PC fan.So this is what I found, a Fan-tastic ventilator with vintage flat roof lid, that has 2.5" overall height instead of 4.5". the 2250 model with 3 speed/reverse and thermostat, for 168$ + 12$ S&amp;H. I also like that I can choose the interior color (grey instead of white)http://www.vintagetrailersupply.com/Fan_Tastic_Fan_p/vts-414.htmWhat are my other options?Thanks!

You could go with something like a small square-shaped sunroof.  I've seen them before and they sit flush with the roof.  They might even call them "escape" hatches.

Forgot to mention I can't fit more than a 14" opening in between the roof "studs"

There may be options but there certainly are no equals. Have two of those, one has been working for twenty years, half of that as full timers. Art.

Ever think about fantastic fans mounted in the sides instead if the roof?

I was just curious if I had other options.Thanks!
