Subject:Re: Installing Nicro solar vent in Westy?

I'm looking at doing the same thing - but have not so far, as I've been
thinking if I really want to add another inch or so of height to the
Westy.

In looking at the possible places I selected two possibilities:

1.) Through the skylight:  Plus is that you don't have to make a hole in
the top. Minus is that you block the skylight.
2.) Directly in front of the skylight: with the opposite plusses and
minuses.

My other thought was to take the guts of the solar vent and make a mount
so that it just sits under the skylight. But that is as far as my
thinking got - too many other projects to finish first.

Let me know what you decide to do.
