In an effort to keep my roof clean and leak free, I would like to instal my bath room vent to go out the side or floor and don't plan on installing any other vents in other rooms. I would like to keep from running my waste tank vent through roof also if possible. | ||

Why not just use a porti-potty then? Richard | ||

Ron, I'm thinking about mounting a bilge blower outside the coach and running a duct up through the floor and wall by the shower. I think that I'll set it up with a cap on the outside intake to keep critters an unwanted fumes or drafts out when not in use. Maybe instead of a cap, a cable actuated blast gate. Still just thinking. hth, Tq | ||

I exhausted the microwave/convection oven with 4" aluminum ducting through the floor into the fuel tank bay and it works very nice. I imagine you could do the same in the bathroom if you wanted to install a suction fan inside a box. However, the best fan for the bathroom is a ceiling Fantastic Fan, and they don't leak if properly installed. You can even buy one that automatically closes when it rains. --Geoff '82 RTS AZ | ||

The only leaks I have had on my 24 year old vents were when the plastic finally cracked at 23 years. Replaces the plastic dome: no leaks. | ||

Ron, Run the waste through the roof. It always works, no pumps or power needed. I am only running one stack and reventing the shower, kitchen through that. On the Bath vents, I decided to go against the grain and use powered house style vents in the bathroom and shower and yes, they are on GFCI's. Still undecided on out the side or through the roof on these. Have fun Cliff | ||

Cliff, Instead of the house fans, bilge blowers work well and are 12 volt. The can be remotely mounted and are much quieter this way. I've done the same in one of my bathrooms in my house with a 120 volt blower. It's almost inaudible... too quiet for some that like fan noise to cover up what they're doing in the bathroom! | ||

(A Raisin In The Sun? What's Sydney have to do with this?) I can't make up my mind between the "braaapttt" of the noisy fan, or the "pwssssssssss" of the quiet one... I guess it'd all depend on what I planned to do? | ||

David, Great idea! My fans are already installed, but they can easily be removed.(still in the rough in stage) I will be checking out those bilge blowers. Thanks Cliff | ||

Our 102 DL3 had 2 stock 24 volt fans, one on the holding tank to keep odors from backing up into the coach and another near the floor of the bathroom to vent the room itself. The system worked ok...when the bus was stationary. When moving there is an air flow from the rear of the bus to the front overpowering the fans. We scrapped the system. |
