I think this sounds like the best idea yet... hole is already there... big
enough for a realistic size fan... it doesn't leak (at least theoretically).
Could even make it removable, eh?

this idea interests me... one of the biggest problems we have here in hawaii
is ventilation... gets hot in there when standing still.

Hi Phaedra,

Ain't it amazing what will cause a tempest in our little teapot. At the risk
of
stirring self-same pot even further --- there's already a hole in the Westy
roof.
There's a skylight in it. What about installing the solar fan in the
skylight
itself
or a mounting plate custom designed to fit the skylight hole. Even as a test
bed
for the
idea. I like the thought of the fan to keep Casey the One-Eeyed Wonderdog
cool
if I have to leave him in the Westy.

Cheers,
