i have a 14x60 2 br w/ 2 baths. i'm wondering how hard would it be to install a exh. & heater fan assy. in the ceiling. this trlr. has a v-style roof. i'm wanting to put one in each bath. preferably one w/ a light. i'm very familiar in hooking up the wiring but the plumbing of it would be kinda trickie. planning on making it a summer project.

A lot will depend on the unit you choose. I have not installed one with heat or heat lamp, but I have installed lots of different exhaust fans. Securing the fan to truss can be tricky if you have 1x2 or 2x2 trusses. The fans I have used were wanting 2x4 or bigger. It can still be worked out though. Get a good sized roof jack and you can do a lot of the rework and attaching from the roof through the hole. I find that it is easier with two people, but one person can do it. I don't like letting the heavier units rest on the MH ceiling panel. Just follow the instructions, it is not too difficult.
