I'm installing a new Fantastic roof vent in the forward location. The original vent was not a powered vent with a fan. However, previous experience is that the coaches are pre-wired for that option but I can't find it. This 74 Palm Beach has had a new ceiling panel installed and the roof may have been re-foamed because it looks real good. Does anyone know where the wires should be so I can dig in the foam a little? It's not easy to run new wires over to the side because of the overhead cabinets on both sides.

What is the easiest way to power this thing?

I know it is not easy to run new wires but that is what I did. Never pulled the cabinet either.

My '73 has 2 roof "beams" about 2 inches apart crossing from side to side immediately behind the fan opening. Fan wiring was buried in the foam and ran between these beams from over the driver side living area window. The ends were taped and doubled back just behind the opening. Yours may be there too.
