Has anyone located an exhaust fan that fits into the camper roof vent? |

I was curious about this one:

And is the hightop camper skylight the same as the poptop skylight ? |

I've been wondering about this for tintops. Has anyone investigated a solar venting system that uses the later model rear window vents?
Edit: I just went out and looked, and it appears that a 3.5" computer fan could be grafted to the top of these vents. I'd block off the lower vent holes, so all the air would pass through the fan. The fans I have draw 1.7W, so I'm wondering if a 5W solar panel would be sufficient to drive two (one on either side). Hook this up to a relay with a temp sensor triggered for say 75F _________________ Casey--

That one looks pretty nice.
Here is a thread with the option I came up with. I still have not totally dialed in the contorller. BUt it fits nicely - no modifications needed for the van - just need to somehow get electricity up there - which is the same for any fan...

This will give you all the ventilation you need and zero electrical draw.
