Has anybody found a venting skylight that is smaller than the 14" x 14" fantastic?
My coach has only the original pop-up vent, no fan. I would like to change it.

I assume you want to change the small round vent to something that will
operate like a fantastic except is smaller. Boler trailers used to have a
12x12 but I have no idea where they were made or by whom.
In the meantime while you look, maybe the below will be useful

Pressure possibly due to out-gassing from decomposition of contents.

It's just a thought, but from my own experience, I have found that emptying
the black water tank when full, created enough vacuum to partially drain
the trap in the shower which sits right over the tank. After emptying, I
then had to pour a glass of water down the shower drain to complete the
seal.
Since installing the macerator, this does not occur. However, warmer or
dryer areas evaporate the water seal in the shower trap and by the end of a
day, the 'aroma' can be detected.

My point is to check for a seal in the shower tarp.

My suggestion for all of you that have odor problems is to visit:
http://www.alwaysfreshinc.com/,

buy their product, then empty and rinse your holding tank a couple of
times. Next step is to add water and Always Fresh according to their
instructions. Then when dumping, leave a little liquid in your tank
(sort of like keeping sourdough starter), and add more Always Fresh using
their instructions.

There are other products that work as well, but we've had really good
results with this one.
