$175 sound reasonable for a air vent

[sbshaver]

Picking up the 12x6 monday. Dealer said he can install a 14"x14" vent (no fan), parts and labor for $175. Sound reasonable? He said the weld in the support tubing. 2" steel tubing I think he said.

Sounds like the shop rate is $150 an hour which isn't unreasonable.

YOUR WRONG his shop rate can only be $140 per hour LOLROTF



don't forget get 1/2 dozen extra plastic covers as they don't last to long

I still had the original vent cover on my 1990 Starcraft pop-up that I just sold. Of course it was probably made in the USA, not China.

I paid $88 plus $18 shipping from eBay for total of $106. I will cut the hole and install myself. You need to determine if $175 is worth it if yours has the fan. I believe my model was 8000. Hope this one example helps.

I'll just do it myself. Didn't someone have a good link for a DIY computer fan + amazon vent assembly
link? I tried overthetoptrailer's blog but it was impenetrable.

I've decided to go with a Fanstastic fan. They're expensive a but get great reviews and ratings and also have great tech support. I think there are places to make cost savings in these endeavors, but a roof vent is arguably a critical element since it relates to ventilation and rain/weather intrusion. So I'll play it safe and spend the extra 80 bucks. Seems worth it, versus buying a $23 ebay unit with missing pieces and no instructions.

Vax How'd you frame yours in? Wood? Welding?

[Rainier70]

We framed and put our vent in. Hubby welded in the framing for it and the windows.

[Rainier70]

Usually you can also just have them frame in for your vent and windows at the factory.
