Winegard 360+

[solv3nt]

After installing the Maxxair Deluxe fan, I'm thinking I want a second one in my Hideout 175BH in the front. Upon initial investigation, it appears that the Winegard 360+ runs on 12VDC, which would provide a great local DC source for an additional fan. Has anybody removed the 4G router? Any thoughts on this endeavor?

I have installed the router and it was powered by the 12V wiring to the antenna. I personally don’t see an issue with tapping into it for the fan.

Now the million dollar question, I'm assuming the trusses run the short width, does anybody know the spacing?

Usually 16 inches on center.

That's a bit problematic for an 18" fan opening.

Or a 22x30 inch shower dome.....

My "general rule" is that roof trusses are where you find them.... If there's a side to side interior wall that needs to be installed in a specific location, the roof truss may be moved to support the top of that wall... Then, in other trailers of the same model and year, the line workers may build in bracing between the trusses to support the wall.... And yet on other trailers, they may just "add extra staples on the sidewalls because there's no truss above the wall to support the wall or the staples, and it's "sort of floating" in space, attached to a 1/8" luan ceiling panel.....

Like a famous person once said, "Trust but verify".....

I was halfway trying to locate the roof trusses the other day, but even with holding up the roof panel, I wasn't finding anything hard. I suppose I could get a real stud finder.
