Can the Ventline Vanair Trailer Roof Vent Install on Thinner Roofs

Question:

I have a 1953 airstream with a frame depth distance from exterior skin to interior skin of 1.5-2. Will this protrude from the skin either above or below?

The vent will install into a 6-1/4 inch diameter rough opening. The garnish (or inner trim ring) allows the vent to be used on roofs of different thicknesses. Since your roof is so thin, you might need to trim some of the length off of the garnish which is fine according to the manufacturer.

It will protrude slightly from the top of the trailer when installed but this normal. When closed it will extend 2-3/8 inches or when open 3-1/4 inches.
