I have a travel trailer and would like to install a Fan-Tastic Fan. My biggest concern is cutting through electrical wires when creating an opening for the fan. Any suggestions on not cutting wiring during a fan install?
Another big concern is getting power to the fan. I guess most people just tie into a ceiling light but ideally I'd like to fish a wire back to the power distribution panel and put it on a separate circuit. The big problem with that is the wall material. I have no idea what the wall material is but it does not seem like you can easily patch it over like drywall.
Another concern is placement of the fan. I'm guessing I need to place the fan beside one of the beams (rafter mabye) going across the roof but maybe the roofing plywood is plenty to support the fan.
A lesser concern is with choosing the fan. Amazon has a basic Fan-Tastic Fan which simply pulls air out of the trailer. I'm mainly concerned with just cooling the TT and I think the cheapest option will work but would like to hear why others opted for more expensive versions.
