Powered Roof Vent Wiring for 2016 Keystone Cougar 326RDS
Question:
I have four vent opening I want to install 4 MAXX air Deluxe 12V dc fans into. I am positive I can install my self. The only question is their 12 Volt wiring up there already to accomadate the 5 amp load per fan? Locations are bed room, bathroom, Kitchen, Living room. They have 15 or 20 amp DC fused circuits labeled room 1,2, 3 .etc. I Cant imagine you would have to snake new wire for each fan circuit! I could tone out each room circuit and hope to find the wire in the rafters. Just looking for some insight for how to source the power for each fan circuit. any input would be appreciated. I was looking for a Electrical schematic for my New Keysone Courgar but no luck thus far. How would an Installer approach it? I am a licensed electrical engineer by trade,

Most likely there isn't a 12 volt power source already ran to the ceiling of your trailer. You can check but most likely you are going to need to route at least one heavy gauge wire with a minimum of 20 amps on it's circuit to the ceiling to power each of the fans.
From there you will be able to run power to each of the fans. It won't necessarily be easy, but this would be how an installer would go about installing 4 of the MaxxAir MaxxFan Trailer Roof Vent # MA00-06200K.
