vent fan

[Mopar madman]

Anyone know if my Laredo 265 has 12 volts to the livingroom vent? If not how hard of a job would it be to fish some wires over. Maybe I should hire it out, too green to start tearing apart my brand new 5th! Any help is appreciated!

If your vent has a fan, just disconnect from shore power and turn on the fan, if it runs you have 12v power.
If you have an overhead light near the vent, running a line to it should be fairly easy.

If you remove the inside trim from the vent you will most likely find a few wires within arms reach. Test with a meter for + or - and be sure to use the correct size in-line fuse when you tap into the + wire. Removing the old roof caulking is the hardest part of the job. Good luck and be sure to let us know how the project goes, Hank

Jeff,

We also have a 265RL... the overhead vents in the living room & bedroom are not pre-wired.
As previously posted, you'll need to access 12v at a nearby overhead light.

Just a note ...... Living-room ceiling lights are usually remotely switched and may not have power unless the wall switch is on.

Thanks for all the information! I will probably try it myself in a couple weeks, I will check back with the results. Thanks again!
