Old stinky toilet problem new idea

[Lesherp]

About 2 inches. It is the same throughout the trailer. Just look anywhere there is an opening and you can see. Any door or window should give you a good idea.

Thank you, the reason I asked, I went to a local RV place asking questions about having a window awning installed and that was his question about the walls. This is good to know. I am debating if I should do it or pay $100.00 to have it done and have the labor guaranteed. I do have time to think about this before the heat kicks in, but it has to be done before summer.

Caution! not every rv dealer knows how to deal with the trailmanor construction. Make sure yours does!

It seems to me onemobear did install an awning and I think they used pop rivets. That is how I would do it because the sheet metal skin is very thin.
I can't find the thread that shows the installed awning, I think it was in one of the solar threads as an oh by the way.

I have a question from anyone who has installed and used the Lil Stanker fan vent combo. How is the odor in the area outside near the vent outlet? Is it unfair to campground neighbors? I really like the idea, but I wonder about some of the "side effects".

Anyone?

What is recommended by one of the awning manufacturers is to use molly rivets (3/16 x 1")
for installing on thin walls. These rivets have 4 slits in them that mushroom like a moly bolt when installed. I used thm to install my awning and it seems very permanent.

Bathroom vent fans are installed in houses and condos too, but I don't remember neighbors complaining about eachother over this issue. It probably comes down to odor molecules per cubic inch, and the vent van and the breeze could both be both important members of the team for this.

I have a vent fan in the TM bathroom with a switch on the toilet side of the sink cabinet, and it discharges air out through the floor. Was this done after market in my TM, or does everybody else have one of these too?

This conversation reminds me of a time long ago and far away when I added a bathroom in a basement project and didn't get the vent fan connected to the vent pipe before the drywall guys closed it all up. But the vent fan seemed to work just fine anyway. I've always wondered where all those little odor molecules disappeared to, and if they're still hiding in that house somewhere.

We have one of those vent fans in our TM also.

Every TM I looked at had the fan so I assume it is from the factory.

I would be more concerned about trapping all the humidity from the bathroom in your attic and growing mold. Just a thought.

Without a shower, it's maybe not such a problem but I'm sure the home inspector would agree with you. But that was before home inspection existed as a common real estate practice. Every house built today probably has something like this hidden somewhere in it, from the missing insulation in the crawlspace to the leaks around the chimney flashings.

And, so many things ultimately depend on how they are used. All I know is we never noticed any smells and the house was still standing 25 years later.
