Recently asked for input on Fantastic Vent install...
Here's how it went..

Before...

Dealing with the oversize original vent...

After...

Found the bath vent wiring crossing the ceiling and tapped power there --

The interior garnish will go up with the new ceiling panel.

There are a few more photos in the album that may be of help to someone else.

Nice job. is that the fan only unit or the thermo controlled unit?

I remember putting the Fantastic vent in. I had the OEM round vent fan that let no light in. I put that job off a long time because I wasn't sure what I had gotten myself into.

Removing the old fan was easy enough but had to watch out for the wiring. I didn't have any water lines there.

Cutting for the Fantastic vent would have been similar to yours, having to push wiring out of the way, it was loose up there.

The end result was a very nice fan and lots of light inside the coach bath area. So much better than that old fan...

You will enjoy it so much... lolol
