Ceiling fan

[wader]

I just ordered a Heng's ceiling vortex exhaust fan. It is going in an unpowered vent in place of the screen that is there now. There is a ceiling light within inches of the hatch opening. I don't know much about wiring, but will I be able to pigtail the wires from the fan going to the ceiling light wires?



Incindentally I disassembled the vent assembly and screen from the inside in preparation of my fan. Now I get to see how sloppily the camper assemblers were. The screws going in at odd angles, the inside frame of the vent was cracked. Makes me wonder what the rest of the unseen workmanship is like. Or maybe I don't really wanna know.

Thought I might as well replace the vent garnish at same time putting in the fan. The garnish was cracked and warped. Because the vent is on a curve at the front end of camper, the garnish needed to be cut to follow the curve. It looked like whoever did it used a hacksaw and got frustrated and took it out on the garnish.

I ordered a new vent garnish and will need to trim it to fit. What would be the best tool to cut that plastic with so I don't end up with the same sloppy mess? Would a dremel type rotary tool be good?

If you have a steady hand.

Replacing would be an nice method as far as my concern.
