Roof vent installation question???

[SoulRaven]

Roof vent installation question.

The rolling aluminum tent is going to have a roof vent installed this afternoon.

The camper top is typical ridge and valley construction and the cross frame was built to have the vent drilled into the frame.

My question is where the mounting is into the bare aluminum running lengthwise should I cut into the ridge and mount the screws into the valley or cut into the valley and mount the screws into the ridge?

It can be enlarged to greater detail using any common graphics viewer.

The default one in any operating system will work.

And you call yourself an operating engineer?

Walmart has a 15" widescreen laptop for $229 with Windows.

I hope this helps.

I'd cut it on the peaks, not the valleys. On the cross cut you'll have to fill in the valleys with butyl tape. I'd screw into the peaks.

At 640x480 the photo is too low res to really see anything even zoomed in. You need to get closer and take the shot at full res so when zoomed in you can see it.

Mr Loo, you have a very dry sense of humor, either that or you don't have any [emoji6]. It's hard to tell, but you seem to come across that way. Maybe you're a very funny guy in person. Don't be mad at me, just trying to figure you out [emoji2]
Now back to business. As Bob was saying, the picture lacks resolution when zoomed in. Maybe you can take a picture [emoji328] just a little closer? I just did my fan not too long ago and might be of help to you. [emoji106]
