Wiring Vent with Electric Fan in 2009 Arctic Fox Travel Trailer
Question:
There is a vent in the master bedroom above the bed. This vent has no power or fan. I want to put a fan in that has a fan. Whe I remove the old vent, I have 2 wires in the roof. One gray, and the other white. Is this power for a new fan?

Expert Reply:
It sounds like the vent opening in your 2009 Arctic Fox Travel Trailer has been wired for a motorized vent like the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # FV807350, which you referenced.
You will want to test the wires, beginning with the gray wire, with a volt meter like # PT89ZR to see which is the 12-volt DC power source. The white wire is usually the ground wire which can be spliced to the existing white wire.
