Jonboymentalhealth Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi all I have a swift escape 624 with rear kitchen and recently had a Fiamma turbo vent fitted in rear skylight and very impressed with how well it works and how quiet but can't help think it would be much better placed in the bigger skylight in middle of van. Is it me or do non of the fans/air conditioners fit this size skylight? They only seem to fit the 400 by 400 which is right at the rear of my van.

Jonboymentalhealth Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Is it possible to get a air on that fits the bigger sky light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 We are about to remove the aircon unit from our van. The hole will be 400 x 400. Not sure whether to have a roof light with fan or just a straight window. We have a large roof light in the van anyway. Is it worth the extra cost for a fan? PJay PS where did you get your window from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 The only fan skylights I've seen are for the smaller 400x400 size. However, Fiamma do one for the larger 600x900 size but it is not a permanent installation. You have to hook it onto the frame of the skylight and then remove it when travelling.

Jonboymentalhealth Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 The fan is great just not the best position for it in my van nowhere near the seats or bed but good for removing kitchen fumes aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archiesgrandad Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I am a great fan of the turbovent roof light, and we have had them fitted on a number of our vans. Because they are able to suck and blow, are thermostatically controlled, and you can vary the speed, they really are most effective. Regardless of whereabouts in the van they are located you will probably be able to get a beneficial effect. We are still in the opening rounds of the discussion between CG and I, she wants the Mini Heki because she thinks it will give more light, I want the Turbovent for the reasons stated.

PJay Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Jonboymentalhealth - 2016-04-30 7:10 PM I've got a fan on my 400 by 400 but wanted an air con unit but it's the bigger skylight and have only seen air con of size 400 by 400 but like the unit with skylight still in domestic I think Our van is a Swift. We have a large roof fan light and the air con is fitted towards the back of the van, . The aircon is also a heater on 240 .v We have decided to remove the air con , to give us a bit more weight. When we take it out , we are going to put it on e-bay , as it works well, PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
