looking to add a power vent to bedroom in 290QB. Anyone do this or know if it is prewired to make the install easier

X2...

Also need a new vent in bathroom, the tiny fan quit working.

I replaced my fan with a Heng fan. Bought it on eBay. Fit in the opening well and works much better. http//Vortex Replacement Vent Fan Upgrade - Heng's Industries 90043-CR - Vents - Camping World

also looking to know if the bedroom is prewired for the fan or if a wire would need to be run in order to power it?

May or may be prewired. If not wired it is not to hard to tag onto a 12 volt light feed to power it.

Thanks for the heads up. Gonna try the Hengs fan.

The Heng looks very efficient but they are out of stock at CW, but available at PPL Motor homes.

Take a look at Fantastic Fan before you buy Hengs...

If the bedroom is wired I would think it would be prewired for a air conditioner...

I agree that the fantastic is better. But the heng is a retrofit. No messing with the sealer on the roof. It is installed from the inside.

Ordered a Hengs on Amazon. Hoping to get it installed soon.

The Heng reduces the amount of light that comes in through the vent since it is a retrofit. One thing to consider.

That's a good thought, didn't think about that. Luckily mine has a shower skylight too so hope that's enough natural light. I'd definitely take the exhaust fan though over the daylight.

Agree, more fan power is always good.
