Christi,
After attending the 2004 Bluebonnet Festival in Texas, we made a side trip to the
Casita factory. I'd hoped to have them install a bathroom fan which had become an option. They were quite willing to try to squeeze it into their busy schedule... provided I was willing to leave "Nuestra Casita" with them for at least 3 weeks! We bought it anyway, and brought the fan home.
After measuring many times to make sure the hole would be located in the correct location, and psyching myself up to cutting a 6" hole in the
fiberglass, I discovered the necessity for cutting 2 of them. The bathroom is a complete shell of it's own inside the the body. The operation proceeded without any problems, including tucking the wiring in carpet seams and fishing them between the 2 hulls.
The
Casita fan assembly has an outside cover which one may open and close to prevent wind driven rain from entering while on the road.
The outer hull is completely carpeted so one 6" piece had carpeting and one did not. If it is cold outside the extra insulation is much appreciated!
I used a Roto-Zip to cut the
fiberglass. The path was covered with masking tape, to prevent any splintering or marks on the 'glass from the tool.
We feel it was a worthwhile "mod".
