I'm finally getting around to installing the Fantastic Fan in the bath module. The Harbor Freight tool does a pretty good job of cutting through the fiberglass ceiling of the bath module, and did OK in helping remove the insulation. The blade got dull much faster than I imagined it would, so does anyone have any preference of replacement blades? It's been my experience that HF blades and drill bits don't last that long.

Now, I can use the trim ring to set the location of the fan cutout in the aluminum ceiling panel. As I really don't like to crawl around on the roof, it may be time to call in a neighbor for his help!

I really like the additional natural light and ventilation that these Fantastic Fans provide. I have two in the coach already ( in the front and rear holes) , and they do a reasonable job of keeping the interior bearable. I'm running the AC today with the coach closed up to see how it does in dropping the temp in the coach over ambient outside temps.
