That looks good! I assume there is room in the fan for that? How would you wire that (four wires) into the fan (two wires)?
Thats kinda like me saying "when it quits raining here"
2011 Work and Play 30WR. Added 2nd AC, four deep cycle batteries.

Two of those four wires are for power, the other two go to the fan. If the box won't fit in the fan assy, I'll simply place it in the void beside the vent and lengthen the wires a bit.
And it is lot like saying that.  I'm all for global warming in this neck of the woods.

Has anyone installed the 90043-CR on a 2011 Montana (keystone product)?
I just called Hengs Industries customer service and they said it will not fit our camper.
Keystone Montana 3400RL / 2011 F350 SD 6.7L

Surprised about that. The Vortex is about fitting the existing vent and not a particular trailer brand? Does the Montana have a different kind of roof vent other than the standard Jensen, Elixir or Ventline?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but try this thread, about page 2, poster nadkaw1957.
