Bathroom Vent, Light, Heater

[Cactus]

I was thinking why not use a Home Bathroom vent / heater/ light??? The only problem I can think of is it use house current, which I don't plan on going "remote" with my camper. Secondly, would be the venting it to the outside, Which could be done using flexible dryer tubing. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Work out the water proof issues and go for it. We use a vent fan for the air conditioner and have it in a cabinet so it won't get water in.....

On my first build I used a cheap $12 bathroom vent mounted under the trailer to vent air out of the camper. I wanted to avoid any holes in my roof.

On my second build I got over my hole-in-the-roof concerns and mounted a fantastic vent, but I did mount the heating portion of a bathroom vent in my camper for use as a heater.

Catus,

Don't think you can move enough air in LA with a bathroom fan. Tried it in my TD in Florida, didn't do the job. Glad I had put 14"X14" frame with power in the roof just in case I wanted to cut it out later for an RV fan.

The depth of most common house ventilation fans was my first thought. Most of them over 80cfm will be 10" to 12" thick. The heaters do pull about 1000w @120vac.

I'm using 2 120mm computer fans which are rated at about 100cfm each with a rheostat to control the speed. Venting them straight out the side with a shoot down to prevent water coming up it or in. I don't have a picture of the inside of this part but it is just two 4" holes and I will built a small enclosure on the opposite side with a filter for intake.

I have seem to have a fear of roof penetration also
