Can You Side Mount A Vent Fan On A

Question

Question:

Im looking at buying a van to convert to a camper. I want to be able to store it in my garage so there is only about 3inch of clearance to get in the garage. Are there any fans with very low clearance when closed? Or, can a roof fan be mounted on the side of the van instead of the roof?

There is nothing wrong side mounting the vent fans. You will just need to make sure that you remember they are there and that they open to the rear of the van to prevent damage to them or your campervan.

I recommend the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan - Manual Lift - 4 Speed - White # MA00-05301K. It has a clearance of 5 inches when closed and will extend up to 9-5/16 inches when fully open.

Or if you prefer and even lower profile we have the Ventline RV Trailer Bath Fan Non-Lighted - Horizontal Exhaust - 8" Diameter - 115 Volts # VE64FR.

The Mighty Cord Replacement Hardwire RV Plug part #A10-P30VP is about 4" long x 2-1/2" wide x 2-1/4" thick. This should fit inside your power cord hatch but you will need to measure to be certain.
