so, Steve, when are you going to get your web site in gear? It would be great to have a concise reference for your build. :thumbsup:

I'm hoping to start on it next week. I have Sunday - Wednesday to get it going (at least a rough version of the dimensions, CAD drawings, and photos) because I'm heading to West Texas on Thursday to do some camping. :thumbsup:

Steve's camper is called the Puffin. I know now! It's the shorthand for "The 'huffin 'n 'puffin" camper! :) :) ;) ;) :lol: :lol:

Hey steve,
Im flying on my trailer, roof sides door and beds are all done, i am in the process of picking out a vent fan, but i cant get one that goes on my roof. (not enough clearance) Where did you get the fan that you are cooling your ac from? what did you pay for it? and did you make any modifications to mount it on its side.

Here's what I installed in the camper bathroom - I bought it from Lowes:

Broan Bath Fan
Item #: 26506
Model: 688
$12.88

No modifications were needed. I cut a small hole on the side of the camper and installed the exhaust vent.

Yes, it's a cheap 110v fan. I bought the hatch ($50) at West Marine.
