I'd like to install some more ventilation in our 2018 RP176. I'd like to put a a porthole at the head of each bunkbed so we get ventilation on hot nights. Any one know the actual placement of the aluminum frames and wiring (if any) so I can make sure I don't cut the aluminum framing? ------------- SailorDude 2018 RP176 F-250 Superduty XL |

Don't know the exact location of the aluminum wall tubing but the tubes frame the openings. The construction video might help.

wait until a cool night and check the sidewalls-the aluminum studs show up pretty easily with condensation patterns. Vann ------------- Vann & Laura 2015 RPod 179 https://postimg.cc/0zwKrfB9">

Some stud finders (e.g. Franklin Prosensor 710) will show where the aluminum studs are. We have a 710, and it works as advertised. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |
