Peter,
Replacing the 6” fan with a 14” skylight/vent fan will make a really big difference in your bath. It like pooping in a closet verses having natural light in your bath. My wife said that was the best addition to the bath on our first coach. All of our other coaches have the 14” units in the bath and shower areas.

It is really not that hard to install. I got this unit at a surplus store in Elkhart for about $25 dollars and you can find them a your local RV store for just a little bit more. The stretch and the avion have fantastic fans in the bath areas. Your wife will love the difference.

And really you are right but before cutting the hole, make sure your roof pod or whatever is up there on your roofs infrstructure will clear the 14x14" fan. Had some problems with that. If you can do it though having a real fan instead of the fart fan is a good thing. You are now ready for that chilli contest with that stink puller!

Peter, I know the original fan is a bit less expensive but having just replaced my non-functional original fan with the Fantastic Fan ($50 more). Pretty easy install and an ENORMOUS improvement. Just the additional light is worth the money imo. Plus now there is actual ventilation that works.
Photos of my installation are here:

And here is a link to the post where I described the process.

Also, several folks have said that there is a new fan other than "Fantastic Fan" that they prefer.

Be sure to get the clear lens...I got the white from camping world and it wasn't opaque, I bought a clear lens and the daylight is world of difference.
