My '73 (setup the same way) has plenty of air flow through the light fixture grills, they are smaller than the FV crosssection through the vent though.. > >I've looked at pictures of the vents, seen them in new trailers, and don't > >understand how it would work in ours. > > Same way.

I kinda like the lighting cover, especially since I've installed the new convertor and they actually put out some light. > Get a 12V fixture to install > (Camping World, or Camper's Choice).

The problem is with getting at the Controls of the FV, like the speed and the Crank mechnism which are located differently than where your stock ones are. As far as the fan speed control. I would just set it to something and then use a wall switch to trun it on/off. The crank is another matter. You could construct an intermediate spacer that could be folded down, or slid out of the way for getting at the controls and still maintain the lighting fixture. This counld also allow for more airflow around the edges above the light fixture as well. Just some thoughts. I cleaned all my light fixtures and installed new bulbs (Still 1157's But I could also throw some flourecents in some time in the future) throughout. The warm yellow light makes things very cozy inside or our trailer. If you do swap out your lighting fixtures I would be interested in purchacing them from you for spares or possible additions to my trailer. bobb > - Dick > (5368) > > "I'm not young enough to know everything." - Oscar Wilde > Dick Kenan Tel: 770-451-0672 > Retired and loving it! > WBCCI # 5368, 28' 1995 Excella > Atlanta > > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > http://www.mindspring.com/~as5368/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > "I'm not young enough to know everything." - Oscar Wilde > Dick Kenan Tel: 770-451-0672 > Retired and loving it! > WBCCI # 5368, 28' 1995 Excella > Atlanta > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.mindspring.com/~as5368/ > > To unsubscribe or to change to a daily Digest, please go to > http://www.airstream.net/vaclist/listoffice.html > > If replying back to this message, please delete all the unnecessary original > text from your reply. > >
