vent cover mounting; how you did it

   I purchased a vent cover (like maxair). I have mounted these on other trailers, but when l looked at the rpods vent with exhaust fan it does seem like l can not bolt it on.  What did other podders do? Sheet metal screws instead of bolt ? How did you drill holes on ac side of vent? Any info would be helpful before l disassemble the whole vent/fan.

	I used the fan-tastic vent cover. It uses the existing screws with there own mounting hardware. Just needed to add LAP sealant as directed. http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=842&PN=21&title=list-your-mods

	Ended up taking screen off of fan/vent inside and was able to reach inside to install bolts& mounting brackets for vent cover. Borrowed 90 degree drill to drill holes between vent and ac . Now have vent cover installed. I did not have to remove the fan , but it would not be that hard if needed. It would be unscrewed thru the open roof vent( 4 screws & 2 wires).

Vent body is made of plastic that you drill thru. Easy.
